DISTURBANCES of gastro-intestinal function and of nutrition are to be found as a cause of, a correlate with or a consequence to almost every form of psychiatric illness (Millar, 1953). A'mong these, the distinct entity of anorexia nervosa has attracted much attention from psychiatrists, general physicians, endocrinologists and (biochemists. Although anorexia nervosa is a rare condition, the clinical interest accorded to it reflects both the severity of its impact on the patient and the major therapoutic challenge it presents to the clihnician. The disease process comprises a complex interplay of physical, psychological, endocrinological, metabolic and electrolytic dysfunction; treatment is very lengthy, relapse is frequent and a fatal outcome is not unknown.
