“…IBS patients also experience body shame, which can have a major impact on one's self-esteem, social behavior, and vulnerability to other psychological problems (79). There is little evidence to suggest that eating disorders are more prevalent in the IBD or IBS population (80,81) because this has been understudied, but disordered eating practices are known to occur (76,79,82) (Tables 4 and 5).…”

This paper describes the prevalence of eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors, the reasons why these practices are endorsed, and the potential consequences in youths and young adults with selected diet-related chronic health conditions (DRCHCs) and provides recommendations for eating disorder prevention interventions and research efforts. Although it remains unclear whether the prevalence of eating disorders is higher in those with DRCHCs compared with the general population, overall findings suggest that young people with DRCHCs may be at risk of endorsing disordered eating behaviors that may lead to diagnosis of an eating disorder and other health problems over the course of their treatment. Thus, health care providers should be aware that young people with DRCHCs may be at risk of eating disorders and carefully monitor psychological changes and the use of unhealthy weight control methods. It is also important to develop and evaluate theory-based interventions and disease-specific eating disorder risk screening tools that are effective in halting the progression of eating disorders and negative health outcomes in young people with chronic health conditions.

“…Functional gastrointestinal disorders or ‘functional gastrointestinal disorder‐like’ symptoms (FGIDs) are a common feature of eating disorder (ED) patients, with a prevalence of over 90% among anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or ED not otherwise specified patients 1,2 . Moreover, in FGID patients, a higher than expected proportion (16%) report a past history of EDs 3 .…”

Appearance and disappearance of functional gastrointestinal disorders in patients with eating disorders

Functional gastrointestinal disorders remain common after 12 months in patients with an ED. Considerable turnover of the FGIDs occurs, however, and the appearance of new FGIDs is not restricted to the original FGID regional category. There is no apparent relationship between the turnover of the FGIDs and ED behaviors, psychological variables or body weight change. These findings have implications for the clinical evaluation and management of FGIDs in ED patients.

“…These observations indicate that ED can induce FGID. Indeed, it has been reported that the majority (87%) of patients with ED and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) co‐morbidity had developed their ED before the onset of IBS, with a mean of 10 years between the onset of ED and IBS 3 . To date, no prospective studies had investigated the development of FGID in patients with ED and a true causal relationship between ED and FGID has not been established.…”

Can eating disorders cause functional gastrointestinal disorders?

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are very common (up to 98%) in patients with an eating disorder (ED). Boyd et al. discuss in this issue of Neurogastroenterology & Motility that FGIDs can persist independently on the outcome of the ED. Their findings leave room for speculation on the mechanisms underlying FGIDs in patients with an ED. FGIDs result from a complex interaction of biological, psychosocial and social factors. The altered eating behavior seen in EDs is strongly associated with disturbed gastrointestinal sensitivity and motor physiology. Moreover, psychiatric co-morbidities in ED patients are also frequently found in FGIDs. The motor and sensitivity disturbances together with psychiatric co-morbidities can lay the foundation of a FGID. Once established the psychological and physiological disturbances can perpetuate and strengthen each other resulting in a FGID that can persist independently of the ED that originally caused the motor and sensitivity disturbances.
