Avatar f tn The cause of Crohn's Disease and UC is MAP bacteria. It originates in cows and has been transferred to many other animals. It is transferred to humans through milk, this is why UC and Crohn's are only in countries that drink milk (except India but they boil their milk). Pasteurization does not kill the bacteria. MAP bacteria is very resistant to most antibiotics but Crohn's patients and UC patients have been successfully treated using MAP antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Also, you mention your pulse, is this a reading taken by measuring the pulse at your wrist, or is this a reading given by the BP Monitor? I would be in the habit of taking your pulse at your wrist, usually taken for 20 seconds and the results multiplied by 3 to give the Beats Per Minute. (or for 15 seconds and multiplied by 4).

918035 tn?1274644533 You have many symptoms of anorexia. Anorexia is not about the food, it's about underlying issues that causes a person to go away from food. I will advise you to speak to an adult. Hopefully, you could talk to your mom or dad. You need to get some professional help and support. You need to see a medical doctor just to check on your overall medical condition and growth.
Avatar f tn Yes, I know your parents mean well. However, what non-sufferers don't realize is the more the force a sufferer to eat, the more it restricts their food.

Avatar m tn So, in my late teens to mid-20s, I battled anorexia and was hospitalized many times. I consider myself a recovered anorexic, but one can never truly recover.

Avatar f tn having an eating disorder is not healthy. i am 42 now i started having anorexia at age 12 and went all the way to 19 in and out of hospitals and lost all my teen fun years and friends, plus when i got well i slipped into bullemia in my 20s it is not something you should say ok no big deal. it gets worse if you let it go to far. you need to identify what you want and get the help. its not going to be easy but living is much more worth it. having an eating disorder isnt all physical.
