Eating Disorder - should she go to the doctor?
Every 3 months my little sister has a period of about a week where the smell , taste and even thought of food makes her gag. She cant even drink milkshake, we cant walk past burger stands, anything really. She looses about half a stone and then as soon as her eating's back to normal, she eats like a horse and just puts it back on!!! she is 16 in june and weighs 7st and she is 5ft3. I am aware that she is underweight with a BMI of 16.5 i am worried and i am not sure if she should go to the doctors ... PLEASE HELP !!

If you think that she may possibly have the beginnings of an eating disorder, I would definitely bring her to the doctors before it's too late. Eating disorders are very serious, and can be life threatening. The problem is that mentally there is something that is triggering her eating habits.. you shouldn't sit on this.
