SOC said, I can see how malnutrition could happen to someone with ME. What I'm struggling with is that he was under the care of multiple health professionals none of whom noticed
severe malnutrition. There are, after all, prescription liquid diets, and probably other forms, for people who have serious dietary restrictions so they don't
die of malnutrition.
I'm not sure they would have noticed that he was severely malnourished if key minerals, omega fatty acids etc were dangerously low unless they took blood samples? How many mainstream doctors check this? I looked fine but was considered "malnourished" because I was not absorbing nutrients from food despite a healthy diet.
