SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Healthy volunteer participants will be included in this study for 1 week. Crohn's Disease participants will be included in the study until they are re-assessed in remission. A time limit of 12 months will be given.

The TFEQ contains 51 items and measures three dimensions of human eating behaviour: Cognitive Restraint of Eating \[I\], Disinhibition \[II\], and Hunger \[III\]. Each item scores either 0 or 1 point. The minimum score for factors I, II. and III is therefore 0, with the pos- sible maximum scores being 21, 16, and 14 respectively. High scores mean worse outcome.

The BES is a 16-item questionnaire that assesses the severity of binge eating tendencies. Eight questions describe the behavioural mani- festations of binge eating behaviour and eight describe the feelings and cognitions associated with binge eating. Scores are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 46. Cut-off points have previously been reported denoting mild \[≤17\], moderate \[18-26\], and severe \[≥27\] binge eating behaviours. High score means worse outcome

The PFS is a 15-item questionnaire reflecting the psychological influence of the food environment. It measures appetite for, rather than consumption of, palatable foods and may be a useful measure of the hedonic impact of food environments replete with highly palatable foods. Items are grouped into three domains according to food proximity; food available but not physically present; food present but not tasted; and food tasted but not consumed. High scores mean worse outcome

The 33-item DEBQ assesses different eating styles that may contribute to weight gain: emotional eating, external eating, and restraint. 'Emotional eating' occurs in response to emotional arousal states such as fear, anger, or anxiety; 'external eating' occurs in response to external food cues such as sight and smell of food; and 'restraint eating' is overeating after a period of slimming when the cognitive resolve to diet is abandoned. High score means worse outcome

The CoEQ is a 21-item questionnaire designed to assess the severity and type of food cravings experienced over the previous 7 days. The CoEQ has four subscales: Craving Control, Craving for Savoury, Craving for Sweet, and Positive Mood. Items on the CoEQ are assessed by 100-mm visual analogue scales \[VAS\], with items relating to each subscale being averaged to create a final score. High positive mood is better outcome
