This study evaluated food deserts' impact on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) severity. Among 98 patients, 15% lived in food deserts, with disparities in race, insurance, and vitamin D levels. Food deserts lacked healthy food access, but no link was found between food desert residence and IBD severity.
