Introduction: Empirical information on the evolution of reporting race and ethnicity information in gastroenterology research is lacking. To facilitate understanding of where improvements are needed to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in gastroenterology research, we aimed to evaluate reporting and representation by race and ethnicity in studies published in flagship US-based gastroenterology journals over 20 years.
Methods: We manually reviewed reporting and representation by race and ethnicity in all original research articles published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology and Gastroenterology in 2000, 2010, and 2020.
Background And Aim: Recent studies have shown that up to 53% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] screen positive for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder [ARFID]. There is however concern that ARFID screening rates are over-inflated in patients with active disease. We aimed to evaluate the frequency and characteristics of ARFID symptoms using the Nine Item ARFID Screen [NIAS], and to use another eating disorder measure, the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire 8 [EDE-Q8], to rule-out/characterise other eating disorder cognitive and behavioural symptoms.

- Fabry disease is a rare condition affecting multiple body systems, where gastrointestinal symptoms are common but their cause related to gut motility is unclear.
- A study of 48 adult Fabry patients showed that symptoms like abdominal pain and bloating were prevalent, and while gut motility issues were identified, they only appeared in a minority of patients.
- The research indicates that GI symptoms significantly impact quality of life and productivity, but they are often overlooked in treatment discussions, suggesting a need for better management strategies that address these issues.
