[quote=Anonymous]People who have not had someone close to them have a bout with an ED may not realize just how dangerous they are, or how insidious and difficult to overcome they can be. Anorexia nervosa has a 10% mortality rate. More boys and young men are developing EDs. I've been to a major conference and talked to their mothers. I would not embark upon a path of trying to put a kid or teen on a diet without strong professional recommendations that I should do so, from people that I respect. Unless the pediatrician believes a referral to a nutritionist is important, I wouldn't consult one. If my child and I did consult one, I would stay in the background and be as low key as possible -- I would do a lot to avoid taking on the primary role of enforcer. I have heard good things about (nutritionist) Sandra Pinney.[/quote]
