My 18 year old daughter has relapsed. We are trying to up her calories and working on keeping a meal plan. She wakes up nauseated and throws up stomach acid most morning. I’m at a loss now to help her. She is a legal adult so I don’t have any power. Is this morning sickness just part of refeeding process? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
