Thanks for the most informative post. The struggle must be brutal.
Anorexia affected a member of my family 35 years ago and it was a nightmare. Doctors weren’t even familiar with it.
We did get lucky,though,and found treatment (after a year-long search) that was a success.

My niece has a digestive disorder and she also looks Anorexic. Lots of hospital visits, with no diagnosis, they think she comes in for the pain med. She doesn’t even take Tylenol if she can help it. Mom of 2, works all the time.
Then you have the Hyperthyroid patient who is not on medication they will be super thin too.
With GP I had to diagnosis it, all they wanted to do is call it Idiopathic Colitis. Well it didn’t fit. Damage to the Vagus Nerve from a face first fall that bruised my entire AB and Rib wall along with the longest nerve in the body. Ginger Root got the nausea/vomiting under control. Constipation/Diarrhea are still an issue, a painful one. Plus I have other serious health conditions some of them due to the drugs I’ve been put on.
Anorexic chose their life style because of a wrapped view of body image promoted by Hollywierd and the model mags. You have to look like a super model to be thought beautiful, when a normal weight is what God intended. Moderation in eating and exercising accomplishes that. Know what looks well on you and your body style, not all of us are blessed to be 6 ft tall and weigh 100 lbs. I’m 5 ft, my ideal weight for my muscle and bone structure is 125 lbs tops. 120 is where I look and feel the best. I have big muscles structure for a woman but small bones.
