about what percentage of gymnasts have/get eating disorders?

[amberdezi]

i know theres no way to actually KNOW the exact percentage, but i was wondering...how many of you have, or have had, fellow teammates/coaches/siblings/children who are gymnasts, that have had an eating disorder? i feel like it is so much more prevalent than people think, and that a lot of people (coaches and parents) either are in denial about eating disorders in their gymnast, or just ignore it and think they are just merely "dieting" or "eating healthy".

This is not an issue to be discussed on the CB. We have a nutrtion thread for atheletes and their parents.
