Nutritional interventions and bulimia nervosa
Insufficient evidence as a standalone treatment– there either hasn’t been any research on this treatment option or there is a small amount of evidence with unclear conclusions.
Nutritional interventions are often included alongside psychological treatments for eating disorders, but they are unlikely to be helpful on their own. They often involve nutritional counselling to support you to eat in a way that meets your body’s daily nutritional needs, as well giving you nutritional supplements.
Treatments outlined on these webpages may not be available in every local area. It’s important that you discuss with your GP or mental health professional the treatment options available to you.
