Researchers believe that people with eating disorders may have different gut bacteria than healthy people, and that these differences might play a role in how eating disorders develop or continue. This study will collect stool samples from women with eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating) and from healthy women to compare their gut bacteria. The samples will help scientists understand whether treating gut bacteria could improve eating disorder symptoms and digestive problems.
Eating disorders are serious mental and physical health conditions, and current treatments don't work for everyone. If researchers can prove that gut bacteria contribute to eating disorders, it could lead to new treatments that restore healthy gut bacteria and improve both eating behaviors and quality of life for patients.

If you qualify, you will provide a stool sample, which researchers will use to study your gut bacteria. The study also involves healthy volunteers without eating disorders, whose samples will be used for comparison. Your participation helps scientists determine whether changes in gut bacteria are connected to eating disorders and could eventually lead to new treatment options.
