Question
Hi there,
    I am doing a nutritional counseling project for my Dental Hygiene Program.  I am trying to come up with suggestions for the person I selected to do the project on and she has an eating disorder.  What are some vitamins, minerals, etc. that I should suggest she increase?? She is only 5 feet and 60lbs, maybe less. I appreciate any advice you can give.  Thanks.

Answer
There's a website for people with eating disorders that can give you more information Something-fishy.org because I can't exactly say what nutrients people with eating disorders since that depends on the severity of their disorder and what treatment plan has been written out for them by a counselor or doctor.

I can answer just about all questions pertaining to eating disorders, but I can't give medical advice due to legal reasons. If you need medical advice please consult with a physician.

I had an eating disorder from the age of 12 to 25 which was compulsive and binge eating disorder. I can help those who are battling eating disorders.
