Reply to "Trauma and plant-based diets"

I think we need to be VERY careful in suggesting that certain diets can heal trauma.  Eating disorders are extremely prevalent in our society and show up in many different forms.  And they are NOT at all what the media portrays.  Roughly, over one third of patients with an diagnosed eating disorder have experienced some sort of trauma.   And there are MANY people suffering who do not have a diagnosis. 

If you want to help a patient who is dealing with trauma select a particular diet, PLEASE have them seek the help of a registered dietitian EXPERIENCED in eating disorders.  For anorexia alone, 26 people die EVERY DAY.   Restriction and limiting or eliminating  food groups is inviting an eating disorder.
