Eating disorders involve irregularities in eating behavior that may cause gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Consequently, many patients with eating disorders seek gastroenterological healthcare at some point in their illness, with many seeking this care even before they seek treatment for and/or diagnosed with their eating disorder. As such, the gastroenterology provider is in a unique position to identify, manage, and facilitate treatment for an eating disorder early in the course of the illness. Although assessing eating disorders is already a difficult task, the identification of eating disorders in patients with GI disease represents an even greater challenge. In particular, common GI symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and bloating, may disguise an eating disorder because these symptoms are often viewed as a sufficient impetus for dietary restriction and subsequent weight loss. In addition, the focus on identifying an organic etiology for the GI symptoms can distract providers from considering an eating disorder. During this prolonged diagnostic evaluation, the eating disorder can progress in severity and become more difficult to treat. Unfortunately, a misconception that hinders eating disorder detection is the notion that the rate or method of weight loss is associated with an eating disorder. Regardless of whether weight loss is slow or rapid, purposeful or accidental, eating disorder behaviors and thought patterns may be present. Unidentified eating disorders are not only dangerous in their own right but also can interfere with effective management of GI disease and its symptoms. As such, it is imperative for the GI provider to remain well versed in the identification of these diseases.
