Gastroenterology Clinics of North America

Abstract

Anorexia nervosa has poor prognosis and treatment outcomes and is influenced by genetic, metabolic, and psychological factors. Gut microbes interact with gut physiology to influence metabolism and neurobiology, although potential therapeutic benefits remain unknown. Type 1 diabetes is linked to anorexia nervosa through energy dysregulation, which in both disease states is related to the gut microbiota, disordered eating, and genetics.
