title: Eating disorders in inflammatory bowel disease.
abstract: Before or after their diagnosis, each of three patients with inflammatory bowel disease had an established eating disorder. Two had bulimia and one was presumed to have had anorexia/bulimia. In addition to the usual modes of weight control, such as vomiting and fasting, two of the patients, all of whom were lactose intolerant, used milk ingestion as a purgative.
