Avatar f tn Kelp has been used in helping those with Anorexia as a mineral replacement. It consists of several seaweeds. It is rich in calcium, iodine, iron, magneseum, copper, and trace minerals. Anorexia is a delicate disorder, please consult your own medical doctor regarding taking kelp, other over-the-counter supplements, medications, etc. Proper nutrition is the goal in treating Anorexia. Food is medicine. To learn more about anorexia and treatment options, visit the bella vita website.
Avatar f tn Most recent episode experienced diarrhea, bleeding, fever, severe cramping, weight loss, arthritis pains and anorexia. Initial stool cultures were negative. Diarrhea contains mucus but no blood. From recent symptoms of ongoing bleeding, it seems more related to a fissure rather than hemorrhoids and Anusol HC does not help with bleeding or irritation. Colonoscopy revealed mild proctitis and grade I hemorrhoids.
Avatar f tn Yes you can have stomach pain along with many other symptoms. Anorexia and Anorexia Nervosa are actually two different things.. Anorexia is simply not eating, it doesn't necessarily mean you don't WANT to eat, just a lack of eating for whatever reason. Anorexia Nervosa (what people are usually talking about when they use the term Anorexia) is when you don't eat because you think you are fat, or you have a strong fear of gaining weight.

Avatar n tn Unintentional and unexplained weight loss of this magnitude is definitely not good. There are many causes like worms in stool, depression, anorexia nervosa, AIDS, cancers especially colon cancers, drug abuse, infections and loss of appetite. Loss of appetite can again be due to certain medications, drug abuse, depression, AIDS, acute and chronic infections, cancers and hypothyroidism. Either you do not eat well or there is increased metabolism as in hyperthyroid states, HIV, cancer etc.
Avatar m tn ’ Or ‘you’re very skinny’ but I always send it in one ear, and out the other as I feel and think I’m enormous. I have my mental list of ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’ food and drink. Standing at 75.8lbs (34.9kg) BMI & other weight calculators say I’m underweight, but I don’t believe them. I try whatever I can to avoid items on my ‘bad’ list and may often refuse to eat because I feel I don’t deserve to. Is 600Kcals a day enough for my height, weight and age? I would like to know.
Avatar f tn I'm a 16 year old female and I am barely ever hungry. I do feel hunger only in the morning and around 2-3 hours after I eat breakfast. I usually eat two handfuls of cereal with milk. When it comes to dinner, I'll take a few bites and I'll immediately feel full and nauseous. However I can eat a lot of sweets and salty things like crisps without a problem. A doctor told me that this is anorexia but I don't want to lose weight or feel bad about my body or anything like that.
Avatar m tn It sounds like it could be nerve related or something from your anorexia. I think you definitely need to talk to some other doctor that can run proper tests.

I think it is very much important for you to receive treatment for your Anorexia because it is very very hard to do it on your own. Please talk to your family doctor and get a referral to a therapist specializing in eating disorders. You don't have to struggle with this alone.

Avatar f tn Anorexia can lead to many complications and I hope that you are having your daughter treated for this problem, Anorexia is not due to any type of medication but a deeper underlying problem. I would certainly doubt any connection to a breast abnormality at age 11 and I think you need to seek the advice of some sort of support group that deals with anorexia. This is a dangerous condition that can lead to death if not addressed by the proper professionals and reversed as soon as possible.
Avatar n tn Is there treatment For Eating Disorders other than Impatient Hospitals? My family thinks that I have Anorexia. I have a histroy of mental health problems, including; PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and ADHD.
Avatar f tn She recently passed away back in December but was an advocate against anorexia. Her body was so traumatized that it began to physically take its toll on her, her body got to the point where it was so malnutritioned she couldn't even repair the damage.

Avatar f tn d say in most cases it can be done on a non-emergency scheduled basis - depending on other symptoms. In your case and in the absence of any specific knowledge about anorexia I can't make a connection, but I suspect anorexia puts stress on one's body and that could be at least part of the driver for the above normal HR.
