Digestion and Eating Disorders
Many digestion problems can arise from eating disorders. Perhaps the most common is a deficiency of digestive enzymes, which results in impaired digestion. Also, because the bowel becomes dependent on laxatives, the individuals become constipated with laxative use. These people literally become addicted to laxatives because the bowel loses its normal tone and motion.
