Official title
Presence of Barrett's Esophagitis in a Cohort of People With Eating Disorders Who Engage in Purging Behaviors: A Pilot Study
Overview
To better define the presence of Barrett's esophagus (BE) via non-endoscopic testing in an eating disorder cohort with purging (vomiting/rumination) behaviors
Detailed description
A prospective cohort study to assess the presence of BE in those with purging behaviors from their eating disorders has not been completed. There are multiple case reports describing a younger population not meeting typical screening guidelines whom developed this condition.

Individuals with severe forms of eating disorders with purging and ruminating behaviors not meeting the current screening guidelines for BE will still test positive for BE.
