I forgot to mention that there's a FEAST Facebook group (which you need to apply to join as it's a private group) which is fantastic for raising quick questions and getting excellent answers and support from the other members. So I just thought I'd do a quick shoutout for it!
Want information on eating disorders in boys? Worried your son has an eating disorder? What are the signs of eating disorders in boys? In 2009 my 15-year-old son developed anorexia. Now aged 31 and with a MSc in Psychology he is recovered & working in mental health using his experiences to help others. I help to raise awareness of eating disorders in boys, point parents to helpful resources & talk about how eating disorders can traumatise families.

I've already pointed you to the FEAST website and Forum - here's a shoutout for the FEAST Facebook group!
FEAST (which stands for Families Empowered and Supporting Treatment of Eating Disorders) was a lifesaver for us when my son, Ben, was sick with anorexia and the support I received on the FEAST Forum (also known as the Around The Dinner Table Forum) from other parents and carers was so incredible it makes me want to cry.
