Gastric Emptying in Patients with Restricting and Binge/Purging Subtypes of Anorexia Nervosa

Abstract

Gastric emptying derangement and dyspeptic symptoms are present in both subtypes of anorexia nervosa patients. Long-term rehabilitation improves gastrointestinal symptoms, gastric emptying, and psychopathological distress in an independent manner, whereas short-term refeeding does not.
