Digestive System
1. Explain the short-term effects of anorexia nervosa on the digestive organs. The digestive organs affected include the stomach, pancreas, gall-bladder, liver, small intestines, and large intestines. Each of these organs are effected at some point with anorexia. The short term effects include constipation, bloating, digestive difficulties, imbalance of bad flora over the good healthy flora of the intestines, abdominal distress, cramps, N\V\D Hyper-acidity. The rate of peristalsis decreases the constipation, bloating, and gives rise to sensations of early fullness. This suppresses the urge to eat which speeds the process of weight loss and starvation. Absorption of essential vitamins and minerals becomes impossible because Anorexia Nervosa (AN) weakens the digestive system. The stomach holds HCL acid is the most acidic organ of the body. …show more content…
Therefore, there are no alkaline based enzymes released into the highly acidic environment to create pH balance. A “domino effect” of problems arise from neglecting the digestive tract.
