Advice needed

[Freyron]

My 13 yo daughter has issues with eating. After speaking with the school, we decided to visit the doctor.
Doctor not particularly interested and when she weighed her, just replied, "she's not underweight enough, come back when she is, you can even ring and have a telephone consultation and I'll refer her for help"
Surely, telling an impressionable young teenager who's concerned about being "fat" and "overweight" that she's too heavy to be referred for help isn't great!
She's 5'5 and 45kg at the moment, I'm just wondering how's best to deal with this at home. Any advice welcome

Go back and see a different doc. Telling anyone with issues around food they are too heavy is ridiculous. Trust me when I say the lower the weight goes the harder it is to treat, plus, time makes distorted thought patterns even more ingrained which is what you are trying to avoid.
In the meantime keep her eating as much and as regularly as possible.
Is there any evidence of compensatory behaviours? Is you daughter curently loosing weight?

OMG thats awful...my daughter i have just posted about is 5ft3 , weighs 45 kgs and is about to be admitted to eating disorders unit.
now some of that is due to her rapid weight loss and obvious anorexia but i wish that i had taken her to the gp and got her to eating disorders service 3 months ago when she was still an ok ish weight
your dd is very much underweight and her BMI is below normal.
PLEASE look up CAHMS eating disorder service in your area on line and ring them or do a self referral
the NICE guidance changed last yr to say parents could do self referrals, my area refused mine ( and i am a gp) but i marched to gp and made him write the letter there and then
we were seen 3 weeks later and 1 week into rx
it is such a nightmare..do not let yourself or your dd get that far.
the best results come from early intervention for young teens...please feel free to PM me if you want .
