Coeliac disease and anorexia nervosa.

摘要

Anderson, in his clinical perspective article, among the potential disorders associated with coeliac disease, does not mention anorexia nervosa.The reported association between anorexia nervosa and coeliac disease should deserve attention. In fact, the dietary restriction associated with a gluten-free diet could initiate an eating disorder, and in patients with a defined diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, the onset of coeliac disease might increase the medical complications associated with anorexia.
