I empathize with you on the doctor issue, Michelle. I'm sure a lot of GPs have maybe one course in nutrition, if that, and I bet they really don't get into ED treatment. Add to that that I think a lot of the general nutrition info out there is incorrect (such as not needing much protein), and I think you wind up with a lot of ignorant doctors.

Sorry also you had a bad experience with your therapist. FWIW, I think of lot of them are trained to not give advice--the idea is that they lead you to come to your own conclusions. So yeah, if you want outside advice you might be best off finding a nutritionist who specializes in EDs. But I think you're doing a great job increasing cals--you're a tough lady! Raising 5 kids with a 6th on the way and homeschooling can't be easy.
