Carried out by researchers in the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State University, the new study looked at data from 103,789 participants aged 18 to 85 who took part in the annual National Health Interview Survey in 2015. In particular, French fries, cheese and cookies were consumed by a large number of people with inflammatory bowel disease, more than the participants without the disease. Those with IBD were also more likely to drink lower amounts of 100 per cent fruit juice.

Inflammatory bowel disease affects three million US adults. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention , common symptoms include persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding or bloody stools, weight loss and fatigue.
