Eating disorders: Bulimia nervosa
2023, Encyclopedia of Human Nutrition: Volume 1-4, Fourth EditionAn update on gastrointestinal disturbances in eating disorders
2019, Molecular and Cellular EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Reduced activity of the lower esophageal sphincter facilitates gastric acid reflux (Sachs and Mehler, 2016). However, despite this fact a study reported endoscopic signs of mild esophagitis, mucosal erythema and friability in only 8/37 patients (21.6%), while most patients showed no endoscopic abnormalities (Kiss et al., 1989). Nonetheless, 10% of patients without endoscopic findings complained about retrosternal burning and 24% about frequent acid regurgitation (Kiss et al., 1989), possibly associated with non-erosive reflux disease.
Medical Complications of Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa
2019, Psychiatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :A higher incidence of gastroesophageal reflux is reported in BN,49,50 which may further contribute to serious complications, such as esophageal adenocarcinoma.51 However, endoscopic findings in those reporting reflux seem to be noted less frequently than expected,52 suggesting there may be a functional component.50 Individuals may also develop Mallory-Weiss tears and/or esophageal rupture due to recurrent vomiting.
Esophageal motility and symptoms in restricting and binge-eating/purging anorexia
2010, Digestive and Liver DiseaseCitation Excerpt :Symptoms always appeared after the onset of the anorexia nervosa, suggesting that they are a consequence of the disorder rather than the sign of a pre-existing motility disorder. An organic esophageal damage is rather unlikely since, even if no systematic endoscopic study has been carried out in anorexia nervosa, no esophageal lesions have been found in a large consecutive series of patients with frequent vomiting due to bulimia nervosa [21]. In our study, esophageal symptoms were not improved by a prolonged rehabilitation program and by the return of a normal weight.
