Our objective was to evaluate gastrointestinal dysfunction (GD) in Chinese patients with fat phobic (FP) and nonfat phobic (NFP) anorexia nervosa. A total of 113 FP- and 28 NFP-AN outpatients underwent standardized clinical assessment and completed a new 8-item GD scale and other psychopathological measures. A majority (79.4%) of AN patients reported at least some gastrointestinal complaints on the GD scale (Cronbach\u2019s alpha\u2009=\u20090.78). FP-AN patients scored significantly higher than NFP-AN patients. The FP-AN with high GD group reported a higher level of specific and general psychopathology than the FP- and NFP-AN with low GD groups. Contrary to expectations, gastrointestinal symptoms were more common in FP-AN than NFP-AN patients. FP-AN with high GD was more severe than FP- and NFP-AN with low GD. The current fat phobic conceptualization of the anorexic illness may overlook its phenomenologic heterogeneity and reify a dichotomy that is inconsistent with patients\u2019 varied experience of food restriction. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1363461512459487","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,22]],"date-time":"2012-09-22T03:43:13Z","timestamp":1348285393000},"page":"678-695","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Gastrointestinal dysfunction in Chinese patients with fat-phobic and nonfat-phobic anorexia nervosa"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Sing","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Chinese University of Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"King Lam","family":"Ng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Chinese University of Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathleen P.
