Here’s what has been suggested so far. If we blogged about it, there will be a link to the post (in brackets are links to somewhat related topics):
- drug/alcohol rehab/treatment vs residential treatment for EDs
- quality of life for ED patients, especially post-recovery
- evolutionary perspective on EDs
- treatment of EDs around the world
- health economics perspective
- link between obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) & EDs
- endocrinology and EDs
- depersonalization in eating disorders
- readiness for change/factors associated with that (age/maturity/ED duration?)
- dance and eating disorder recovery
- http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/files/pdfversion/cr162.pdf
- link between eating disorders and depression
- personality disorders (changes in DSM-V?) and how they relate to eating disorders
- alternative/creative therapies in EDs (music, art, dance, drama)
- link between introversion and EDs (from a neurobio perspective)
- experiences/perspectives of siblings of ED patients
- intelligence and EDs
- memory loss (and related issues) and anorexia
- stealing and hoarding in eating disorders
- endorphins
- PTSD and BN
Suggestions that I’ve blogged about:
- adult-onset eating disorders (especially adult-onset bulimia)
- vegetarianism and veganism and how it related to EDs and ED recovery
- autism and anorexia nervosa link (and this post to some extent)
- cross-cultural studies of eating disorders
- yoga in association with ED’s (when is it okay to start, is it helpful?)
- diabetes and eating disorders (diabulimia)
- longstanding/chronic eating disorder, palliative care/hospice care (ethics of force-feeding)
- eating disorders in the lesbian community
- nonpurging bulimia (where does it fit?)
Suggestions I’ve started to cover:
- refeeding syndrome
- predictors of treatment success and remission (this, although focused on maintaining change after treatment)
- developmental/early life risk factors for EDs (this, though focused on prenatal risks)
- epidemiology, demographics of EDs (prevalence, occurrence & mortality)

Posted by Tetyana | September 5, 2012, 8:57 PM Tetyana| Quote CommentClaire, I was wondering if you would be interested in writing a guest post for SEDs on this topic as you have lived experience & expertise and thus I’m sure can do deeper justice to the issue than Tetyana, A., Gina or I who can only appreciate in the abstract the complexity and difficulties that having diabetes brings to having an ED. And I know you’re a good writer.
No pressure, just a thought. Take care.
Posted by Saren | September 6, 2012, 11:26 PM Saren| Quote CommentClaire – I agree with Saren, I think you would do a much better job of writing about this important topic than any of us currently contributing to the blog. If that doesn’t sound good for you right now, feel free to ask others who you think would do a good job/have experience with diabetes and eating disorders. You can send me an email at tetyana[@]scienceofeds[.]org to discuss.
Posted by Tetyana | September 7, 2012, 11:12 AM Tetyana| Quote CommentI wondered if you could post some research to do with non-purging bulimia, particularly bingeing/starving. I know it’s relatively uncommon, but if you cam across anything in your studies that would be super helpful! Thank you x
Posted by Anonymous | April 15, 2013, 8:45 PM Anonymous| Quote CommentYup! Great idea. There was a prevalence study that showed it is not really as uncommon as we might think. I think it was as high as 25%. Can’t recall what study now, though. I will add it to the list, thanks.
If there’s anything specific you want to see about the topic, let me know.
Posted by Tetyana | April 15, 2013, 11:39 PM Tetyana| Quote CommentCould you post about binge eating disorder?
Posted by Sarah | April 16, 2013, 8:30 PM Sarah| Quote CommentI can, yes.
Is there anything specific? What would you like me to post about, because it is a huge area.
The reason I haven’t done anything on BED is really just because I don’t find myself reading those papers or being that interested in the research, so I don’t feel like I have enough background on it. It is not because I don’t think it is an eating disorder (it is!) or that it is any less important (it isn’t!), it is mostly that I find myself gravitating toward research on restricting and purging.
That said, I can do posts on it if people are interested in reading about. I will also ask Liz because I have a feeling she has more knowledge on that.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Cheers,
Tetyana

I suspect that you and Shelly are all over this stuff, but as a layperson who’s been following developments in epigenetics for many years, I thought this wrap up of …..some fairly new findings regarding the nature of inheritance was pretty interesting :

Posted by Tetyana | May 11, 2013, 5:45 PM Tetyana| Quote CommentPre-morbid BMI, weight restoration, and amenorrhoea in relation to set-point theory? I know that DSM-5 is removing the amenorrhoea criteria from the AN diagnosis, but I’d like to know more about why it occurs at different BMIs for different people (aside from the fact that BMI isn’t a great measure of health), and how post-recovery BMIs compare to pre-morbid BMIs…I was intensely annoyed at finding that I had to reach a BMI of 20 (rather than 18.5 as was often quoted at me) to get my periods back!
