A member asked:
For what reasons i developed gastrointestinal reflux during recovery from anorexia ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One explanation: One explanation will be that your anorexia cause weakness in your esophagus. Esophagus is composed of muscle. It's composed of striated and smooth muscle. During a malnutrition state, the muscle can be damage specially at the lower esophageal sphincter. Improvement should be expected if anorexia improved. I will consult with a GI doctor to r/o bacterial dz like h.Pylori.
