Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an autoimmune disease that consists of Crohn’s Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Food insecurity is defined as limited or uncertain access to enough food. It is estimated that 1 in 7 children in the United States experience food insecurity or about 13 million children. Louisiana has one of the higher rates of food insecurity in the country with over 249,000 children affected. Food insecurity has been associated with worse health outcomes in children including developmental risks, poor mental health, and poor educational outcomes. Functional Disability Inventory (FDI) is a measure of limitations in both physical and psychosocial functioning secondary to physical health. Our hypothesis is that patients in food insecure homes will have higher FDI scores compared to those in food secure homes.
