<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> THANK YOU to all who responded to my query regarding any relationship between CD and anorexia. This is just a preface so that the summary isn't clogged up with information that would be meaningless to people who may look it up in the archives in the future. Firstly, sincere thanks to those that expressed empathy and best wishes for my niece. She sure has been doing it tough and still has a long way to go. I think many of you assumed that my niece was the "classic" anorexic who saw herself as fat even though she was wasting away (so much so that her very life was in jeopardy). In fact this is not the case. At 35kg (77lbs) she knew exactly how thin she was and had no misconception that she was fat, there just seemed to be an aversion to putting food into her mouth. Anyway, that's a whole other story, but that was just a basic background which addressed some misunderstandings. For those that didn't see my original post my niece who has anorexia has also just had positive bloodwork for CD. Clearly, I've got so much to learn. I will pass your valuable information on to my twin who will know the best time and way to approach my niece with it. If there's something in there that rings a bell, strikes a chord, or helps her in the slightest way, then bless you. Oh right, the summary, sorry it's taken a while - I'll post the Summary with direct quotes. I'm no medico, you be the judge. I haven't posted some of the duplicate opinions as this is getting fairly lengthy (and I haven't even started yet). Take care and thanks again, Jean
