Hi I have a new girlfriend and I new she had problems with food and wouldn't eat, but she said she topped up her vitimin levels with tablets. But I was disturbed today to find out she is using laxatives, she used them a long time ago which she told me, but she has just confessed she has been taking them again and for 18 months. She is using them regular I think twice a day and am worried as to the conciquences for her, Also for us as we had discussed children.

She is 39 and the eating is a self hate thing as she used to be fat and she lost wait but still hates herself although she is a very pretty girl. I understand it is a mind thing as have seen other programmes and read stuff, but this is here and now and I'm very worried for her.

Could you give me advice to the damage she is causing herself and who would be the best person to get her to see to sort herself out and can I beof help to her in some way to help her .

Thanks brass
