Join the iaedp™ Foundation | Rhode Island Chapter for an educational dinner program for eating disorder professionals across Rhode Island and greater New England.

Featuring Kyle Staller, MD, MPH, Section Chief, Neurogastroenterology and Motility and Director of the GI Motility Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

This session addresses the clinical overlap between eating disorders, restricted eating, and disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs), including IBS, functional dyspepsia, bloating, constipation, and ARFID-like presentations. Using case-based discussion, Dr. Staller will explore how eating disorder history can complicate GI diagnosis and treatment, how GI-directed dietary advice may unintentionally reinforce restriction, and how clinicians can distinguish symptom-driven food avoidance from clinically significant disordered eating. The session emphasizes practical screening strategies, medical risk assessment, appropriate GI evaluation, and collaborative care among gastroenterologists, dietitians, psychologists, and internists.
