Which Symptoms, Complaints and Complications of the Gastrointestinal Tract Occur in Patients With Eating Disorders? A Systematic Review and Quantitative Analysis.

Author
Abstract
:

Eating disorders (ED) such as anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED) are often accompanied by a variety of psychological and physical comorbidities. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are a classical feature in most patients with ED. The heterogeneity of studies on this topic is high, making it difficult to have a clear overview. The aim of this systematic review is therefore to provide an overview of subjectively and objectively measured differences and changes in the GI tract in patients with EDs, along with the occurrence of GI complications.
