It has been estimated that about 25% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are diagnosed before the age of 18. Food insecurity, limited or lack of access to enough food, has been associated with poor outcomes in childhood health including mental health problems. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines a food desert as a census tract that meets criteria for low access to a grocery store and low income. Depression and anxiety have been well documented in pediatric patients with IBD.
