Practices, Attitudes, Perceived Knowledge, and Intentions Underlying Low-Fat Dietary Behaviours in Adults Living With Bile Acid Diarrhoea: A Cross-Sectional Study

The effectiveness of low-fats diet for managing bile acid diarrhoea (BAD) is unclear, yet many individuals may restrict fat intake. This study aims to explore factors associated with reducing fat intake.

Cross-sectional survey using convenience sampling recruited adults from the United Kingdom with a self-reported diagnosis of BAD via online platforms (April to May 2021). Demographics, clinical characteristics, and low-fat diet follower status data were collected. Potential predictors of intention to reduce fat intake were assessed using a modified validated questionnaire framed on the Theory of Planned Behaviour. Multinomial logistic regression was performed.
