Summary

This trial will test if fear, gut peptides, and feeling full affect eating disorders and GI distress.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-40 with a DSM-5 diagnosed eating disorder, feeling sick or having stomachaches after eating sometimes. They should have a BMI between 18.5 and 26.5 and experience significant distress or impairment from their condition. It's not for those with conditions affecting appetite/weight, recent/current pregnancy, dairy/strawberry/honey allergies, or specific blood-injection-injury phobias.
What is being tested?
The study examines how changing the description of a test meal affects fear responses, gut hormone levels, and feelings of fullness in individuals with eating disorders to understand gastrointestinal distress and maintenance of these disorders.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves psychological assessments rather than medication, side effects may include emotional discomfort due to discussing personal experiences related to eating disorders.
