anorexia

Avatar n tn My family thinks that I have Anorexia. I have a histroy of mental health problems, including; PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and ADHD.
Avatar m tn It’s best not to force food down the throat of a person with anorexia. It is best to get medical help. If person eats less then protein and carbohydrate shakes can be given. Meat and vegetables can be pureed. Egg can be beaten into milk. The treatment involves various types of behavior therapies, nutritional guidance, medications to control hunger, food satiety, and exercise and yoga. Please consult a good psychologist/psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders. Take care!

Avatar n tn i began having eating issues that were assumed to be anorexia, but i just felt completely nauseous when ever i was upset, and that made my cycle worse. but mine was always stress related, the more 'even keeled' i feel, the more regular my hole body is. have you tried relaxation techniques? i have been doing yoga regularly for about ten years, and by regular I mean about once a week for at least and hour. It has help enormously!
Avatar f tn So I had anorexia in many years but recovered in early 2014. Ever since then i've tried to loose weight hardly but don't seem to loose more then 3 kgs maximum. It disturbs me, cuz no matter how hard i try i dont seem to loose weight, i stay The same. I really wanna loose some more cuz im not comfortable in this body at all. So got an tips? ? Would appreciate lot help...
Avatar f tn I am just the opposite of you. I lost weight in the beginning and haven't gained any of it back yet and as "lovely" as it sounds its really a bigger pain in the a**. I have had to have lots of extra blood work, extra Dr visits, see a dietitian, and all the worry that comes with not knowing if your baby is okay. People also think it's easier but it's not. I may not have gained any weight but I still have a huge belly and my back and legs are killing me.
Avatar m tn s not that then hopefully you can find a healthy way to diet! Also, in order to be diagnosed with anorexia, you have to have a BMI of I think 17.
Avatar n tn I have slowly figured out that my daughter has been battling anorexia for about 6 years (she is currently 23). I have been solid in this realization for about 4 years. I now realize that depression and anxiety have played a significant role in her illness. She saw one therapist for 2 years, another for this last year, but has now gone away to school and is seeing no one.

Avatar n tn When you say that she displays many symptoms of anorexia (in spite of eating three meals/day), what do you mean? What are the symptoms you are noticing?

Avatar f tn why do girls with anorexia stop getting their periods ? what is the link to Kyphosis to anorexia ?
918035 tn?1274644533 The problem is the voice in your head. The second problem is that you listen to the voice in your head which is telling you all the wrong things. You need to sort this out with a profesional..there are many trained to deal with eating disorders with teenagers...your parents or your doctor can help you find the right person. This can be a very serious health risk...see a professional as soon as possible.
Avatar f tn t happen over night and doing it right will keep it off longer... With anorexia the second you start to eat your body holds in everything including the fat because it knows you will starve it again. Also when you stop eating your body will start to eat itself (including your muscles). You can do this hun... keep it up and persevere.
5061022 tn?1363018223 I am trying to get away from doing it as I have had it under control for the past year and it was recently triggered again in January. I have been dealing with it since the 8th grade and I am now a college junior....its a constant battle and I hate it....I am trying so hard right now to fight losing weight the right way....I am having a very hard time.....
Avatar n tn Dear kate306, Your gastrointestinal system could definitely be thrown off from your anorexia. Your current anxiety could be the culprit for your diarrhea. Anxiety and Anorexia often go hand in hand. Seeking medical attention for your diarrhea is recommended. Getting to the root of your anxiety and decreasing your anxiety is critical.

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.
