It depends what stage the anorexic is at. If they are at a dangerously low weight (below a BMI of 13.5) they may be tube fed. Otherwise, they will be started off by being fed normal meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, as well as possibly supper and snacks) - smaller portions at first, which will be increased as the patient's body gets used to being fed again. Meals are carefully planned so that patient's diet consists of one third protein/dairy/fat, one third carbohydrate, and one third fruit and veg
speaking from excperience..i was admitted hospital with a BMI of 12.9 luckily i agreed to eat so i wasnt tube fed, im vegan which is why theres no meat dairy or eggs, they start you off on very small meals to avoid re-feeding syndrome(death), than after a couple of days i was on
breakfast - branflakes + 200ml soya milk + 2x wholemeal toast + tblsp soya butter
lunch - either tofu hummus or soya cheese sandwich made with 2x wholemeal bread tblsp soya butter, small side salad and half pack of walkers ready salted crisps, or large jacket with beans and salad. dessert was eaither rice based pudding or sponge cake and custard, all portions depended on how much weight you gained or lost.

IV / Feeding tubes are really only used for very serious cases of anorexia for in-patient hospital treatments. They help restore a healthy weight and nutrition to an anorexia. Therapy is what really "helps" / "cures" the mental illness, though.
The common "itch" or desire to scratch oneself (Latin:pruritus) happens to every living animal. It is not specifically caused or triggerred by anorexia or any other eating disorder.
Either one (allergies or anorexia) can cause you to potentially die. Together, both are very dangerous, though each is very dangerous on its own, too.
The scientific name for anorexia is Anorexia Nervosa.
2/3 of all reported anorexia cases occur in "Western" society. 90% are girls, 10% are boys. About 90%-95% happen within middle- to upper-class people.
then u call and say im at the hospital
it depends, it could be called anorexia if they don't eat at all or bulimic if they eat and then vomit. the definition of anorexia is slightly wrong though .... generly people that suffer from anorexia do eat! but what happens is they starve themselves for a few weeks and then every so often they will binge eat and the vomit after, this is the true definition of anorexia but it is possible that some people do not eat at all.
