People are advising on help. A nutritionist doesn't help. She doesn't need a special bizarre diet for a weird disease. She needs to eat normal clean foods and exercise and monitor her blood chemistry and get help with her stress (lifestyle or medication)
What’s your basis for saying this?
The person is daft. Don't listen to ignorance.

You know some vegetables you can't eat if you have food allergies and certain proteins are terrible for your gut, like t-bone.

Not when you have food allergies. For example, my son can't eat tomatoes, Broccoli, cauliflower, pineapple, apples, grapes, milk, beans etc
Sometimes people are different than you. They might need help finding alternatives like bok choy, tofu, zucchini, carrots.

Nope. This is a fast track to anorexia.
why? this helped my daughter from going for a 1000 cal five guy burger for lunch to 1000 cal or amazing fruits, veggies, avocados and olive oil...plus 1000 more for other healthy foods
sometimes psych ed on calories is good
our nutritionist said only eat avocadoes if you want to gain weight, great for boys trying to gain. if you look at weight watchers avocados have tons of points. Seems like you have fallen for the hype and don't understand healthy eating.

Many RDs call themselves nutritionists, because people with disordered eating react to the “diet” part of the name. Worry less about how they refer to themselves and more about their actual credentials.
Many people with disordered eating/orthorexia/actual eating disorders are drawn to the profession, so tread very carefully.
Her DD is currently intuitively eating and and is gaining weight. If you are compelled to overeat, intuitive eating isn’t for you.

OP: Support your daughter. Whether or not a nutritionist can help will only be resolved if you visit a nutritionist & follow his/her advice.
It is great that your daughter wants professional guidance. Please support her in this matter.

My DS sees a dietician. He asked to do so and we agreed because he would listen to a dietician where he won't listen to his parents.
He's normal weight but wants to make gains in his sport. We want to make sure he does that in a healthy way.
While I don't think dietitians are necessary for most of us, a good one can help with kids.
