EATING DISORDERS
FAQS
how did you know it was an eating disorder?
It took many trips to the ER with stomach pain, dehydration and a litany of other physical complaints to finally get a doctor who clued in. The ER doctor asked my daughter in private if she was intentionally restricting and she answered yes. Thank goodness for a doctor who knew the obscure signs.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SIGNS OF AN EATING DISORDER?
There aren’t any for sure signs as eating disorders can present very differently in different people and depending on whether it is a restricting or purging disorder etc. The things I noticed were the following: playing with food, eating foods in a certain order, restricting liquids, constant stomach pain as a reason not to eat, hiding food as well as not wanting to eat with the family. I would also look for using the washroom right after a meal with the tap on and other signs of vomitting.
HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE WAS DIAGNOSED?
WHAT ARE THE FOOD RULES?
Oftentimes if you ask someone with an eating disorder what their food rules are, they will likely have one. Some of the common ones are calorie restrictions, carbohydrate and dairy limitations as well as eating foods in a certain order. This is not all-inclusive but gives you an idea of what they can be.
