A member asked:
Why do pts with bulimia have parotids infections or swelling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From purging: Amylase production of the salivary glands is raised by purging and the over-activity results in swelling. The normal breakdown of carbohydrates is distorted by the behavior pattern demands of bulimia. It usually improves if the behaviors cease. http://www.eatingdisordersonline.com/medical/parotid.php Best!
