In March, the Foundation hosted an online information session for the eating disorder community in the United States, attended by over 25 dietitians, physicians, and clinicians from across the country. The Foundation presented on the critical issue of the misdiagnosis of citrin deficiency as an eating disorder due to patients’ unique food preferences. The presentation highlighted how eating disorder professionals can distinguish CD patients from those with typical eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa.
The session led to actionable strategies, including collaborating with the eating disorder community to develop a CD informational flyer for clinicians to raise awareness and hopefully uncover more patients which you may find below.
The Foundation extends special thanks to Dr. Michael Lutter for his assistance in notifying the eating disorder community about the session.
