I suppose that there has been something I could do more for my child so she would not be in a situation like this right now. Then again, I always thought that she was just a bit more obsessed with her look, but it all led to anorexia. Doctor also mentioned a serious danger because of electrolyte misbalance that occurs. What is the relation between that misbalance and anorexia?
When the organism does not get enough food, the big problem occurs because of the lack of potassium. This is actually that electrolyte misbalance you mentioned and the worst thing that can happen is a serious heart problem. This means that the therapy should start immediately and of course she must gain some weight and compensate for all those lost minerals and vitamins, including potassium.
