FREE Webinar:
Managing Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Patients with Eating Disorders
Tuesday, November 17th at 12:00-1:30 pm EST
Join BALANCE eating disorder treatment center™ Founder Melainie Rogers, MS, RDN, CDN, CEDRD-S, and Tamara Duker Freuman, MS, RD, CDN for a free webinar discussing current clinical and nutritional approaches to caring for clients with eating disorders and GI symptoms.
WE'LL COVER:
Gastrointestinal symptoms are nearly universal among individuals with eating disorders, and prevalence of diagnosable digestive disorders is very high in these populations as well. Co-morbid digestive symptoms can render nutritional rehabilitation and eating disorder treatment very challenging, and often requires multi-disciplinary care to optimize physical tolerance of an adequate, minimally-restricted diet.
In this webinar, registered dietitian Tamara Duker Freuman will review the prevalence and pathophysiology of common GI issues affecting clients with eating disorders; discuss disorders of the gut-brain axis (DGBIs) that commonly affect individuals with eating disorders; and share current clinical and nutritional approaches to caring for clients with eating disorders and GI symptoms.
