Question: Compulsive eating disorder after anorexia? I had anorexia as a young teen, but now i believe I have a compulsive eating disorder. Very difficult because I am a runner and like to run road races but binging always throws my running way off. I don't purge. I did get help for the anorexia thankfully, but now it progressed to this. What could I do to help it?

Answer: Eating disorders involve serious disturbances in eating behavior, including unhealthy reduction of food intake, severe overeating and/or dangerous methods to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting. Severe eating disorders may result in serious health consequences including death. Patients can be diagnosed with an eating disorder at any age, but they most often develop during adolescence and young adulthood. More women than men are diagnosed with eating disorders. The most common types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Other, less common types of eating disorders include pica and rumination disorder.

Question: how to recover from a eating disorder (anorexia) with out putting weight? 5'5/5'6 and 98 pounds. She is aware she is underweight and she wouldn't mind putting on 15 pounds but NO MORE. She use to be 165 pounds. Will she put on all the weight back? She goes on water fasts and juice fasts. What if she increases her calorie intake by 100 each week? Would she put on loads of weight? Thanks! She wants to be healthy and look healthy but in a slim way. and by slim i mean 5'5/5'6 and 115 pounds.

Answer: I would say , in your case : arrive to 120 pounds and then eat a little less. You must NOT go under 115 pounds, at any rate. With about 100 pounds you are seriously in danger to die. I am a specialist for anorexia and please take my advice !

Question: Do you have to be underweight to be diagnosed with an eating disorder? (anorexia/bulimia)? I am really concerned about my friend and her low self-esteem issues with body image. I confronted her about it today and she even told me her weight and height and proving it to me by stepping on the scale. I looked up her BMI and it's normal. But do you have to be underweight to be diagnosed with an eating disorder?

Answer: no you don't have to be underweight to be diagnosed with an eating disorder you just have to have the signs of it. like throwing up all the time, not eating, depression, weakness, gross looking nails from the acid in your stomach, thining hair, irregular heart beat. and so on. if you think your friend does have an eating disorder she most likely does. cuz obviously she is showing signs of having a disorder.

Question: is it possible to have a binge eating disorder and anorexia at the same time? like one showing characteristics of each, just at different times? would you treat it the same way you would treat one individually?

Answer: i think that would be bulimia. people with bulimia don't necessarily purge to compensate for the calories they consume on a binge. bulimics may also restrict, use diuretics or laxatives or compulsively exercise to compensate for calories consumed. this website describes the diagnostic criteria for bulimia if you're interested http://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com/medi… I think it would probably be most likely to be treated mostly as bulimia were treated.

Question: if you suffer from a eating disorder (anorexia) will i still get taller? My mum is 5'2 my sister is 5'3 my dad is 5'7 my brother is 5'9 My grandfathers are over 6ft. Im Female, just turned 14 on June 23rd and 5'5 (last time i checked my height it was February, before my eating disorder) So i might be a bit taller. Would i still grow or not? Thanks,x. and how many calories do i need to have everything? i just checked and im 5'6

Answer: Anorexia can cause you some trouble but it doesn't affect your height. You can still grow and be a normal person. I'd suggest going to see a doctor (a nutritionist). You will get the best answer there on what you have to do to have a normal appetite.

Question: Am I allowed to be a therapist for eating disorder patients, having had anorexia myself? I have had anorexia for 2 years now, still do. I used to be in recovery and see doctors etc but stopped going. I do want to recover eventually, just not yet. Anyway, when I do recover, I would really like to help those with eating disorders. Am I technically allowed? Assuming I'm completely recovered?

Answer: of course, because you have firsthand experience. many therapists become therapists because therapy has helped them in the past.

Question: What happens when you go to hospital because of an extreme eating disorder? (Like anorexia)? So what happens in the UK, or if you don't know, the US, when you go to a hospital to be fed, do they watch you eat the food or do they 'stick a tube down your throat'? Would like to know please.

Answer: It's different for every hospital, but in one in the U.S. you must eat and if you don't you receive two 350 calorie supplements, which you must drink before you can leave the table. If you decide not to do the supplements then you receive an even larger meal that you must finish or again your stuck at the table. You only lose privileges there when you don't gain at least a half a pound a day, which result in the lose of a shower for that day, access to a phone, and your meals will become larger or you will have a supplement added to your daily regime. They only stick a tube down your throat if you continually fail to follow the program. Hoped this helped.

Question: What are other eating disorders other than Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder? For a school project i'm working on to make people aware of eating disorders.

Answer: I guess you missed BODY IMAGE. Most women wants and dreams to have a sexy image and this is actually the reality. They want their body image to be recognized anywhere they go especially to catch the attention of men. People with depressing body image have a greater chance of developing an eating disorder and are more likely to suffer from feelings of depression, isolation, low self-esteem, and obsessions with weight loss. We all may have our days when we feel self-conscious or uncomfortable in our bodies, but the key to developing positive body image is to recognize and respect our natural shape and learn to overpower those negative thoughts and feelings with positive, affirming, and accepting ones.
