Description of Presentation:

Eating disorders are sometimes baffling to health care providers, often disguising themselves as painful conditions. The spectrum of pain caused by anorexia and bulimia includes almost every body system and is easily misdiagnosed early on. Healthcare practitioners are in a unique position to identify patients with eating disorders and start them on their path to complete recovery. This presentation will review the diverse causes and presentations of pain in patients who suffer from eating disorders. Case studies will be used to walk participants through a screening tool and diagnostic approaches as well as to display the “pretender” nature of anorexia and bulimia. The members of the treatment team will be discussed, as well as indications for a higher level of care.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe diverse causes and presentations of pain in patients who suffer from anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
2. Apply validated screening tools to screen patients for anorexia and bulimia.
3. Create a team to connect patients with eating disorders to an effective outpatient interdisciplinary treatment team.
4. Explain important clinical findings that necessitate a higher level of care.
