I do take probiotics and those seem to help a little. I'm not sure if I have any gut issues, at least I don't know of any...

There is no possible way I could be pregnant

I do Pilates on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. I dance everyday but Sunday and Friday on top of whatever else I do. But I do the ecliptical for at least an hour every Monday and Friday to get some aerobic excerise in because dance and Pilates is mostly anaerobic/

I would like to close this discussion with the point that the academy will be talked to and the process of installing more appropriate means for confronting dancers has occurred.

I have started a journal express emotions as this discussion surfaced some disregarded issues. I actually used to try to throw up but then realized that is pointless and will only harm you in the long run. I will try to become a healthy dancer and still remain a good one.

One of my friends parents (who has a serious ED) is suing them. I think they may start to make changes in the upcoming semester or for the SI

It's more of the pressure of competition and influences of friends that drove me to unhealthy behaviors. Not the academy itself. It's just the cold truth that the academy (as well as other top schools) normally pick, promote, and praise the thinner ones.

The academy does not suggest this pill. A friend of mine told me about it. The studio does not promote unhealthy methods of weight-loss like diet pills.

I am not bashing the academy I am at what so ever. They have actually made me the dancer I am and I am very thankful of that. They are known for producing outstanding dancers and I don't want to ruin that. Grateful I have the opportunity to train there

No it is actually spelled Zantrex. They sell it at wallgreens.

Yes. I just fear they would be mad if they found out I went to an outside doctor. I did this when I had foot surgery and they weren't too happy after.

So to reduce bloating? What should I do. And thank you I will definitely message you at a later date.

I haven't tried any drugs and don't plan on it. Some of my friends take Zantex. Opinions?

How should I approach them? I live in the dorms at this academy so any doctor I see will be through the ballet. They make the appointments and they take you. So I hope I can contact you for further advice.

I actually met Misty Copeland this summer when training at ABT. I hear the worlds "LENGTHEN" all the time!

Yes. I have multiple friends who are competitive gymnast and we discuss is type of stuff all the time. Ballet is a a lot more strict than other forms of dance concerning body type.

Will fiber one bars help bloating? Because I am aware that I bloat a lot and that could contribute to my messed up view.

It is comforting to know you are a nutritionist. Maybe you could help get me on the right track since I'm clearly lost.

I will consider losing water weight right before my evaluation. My concern is dehydration

I respect your feedback. In my own little world of ballet, my view in this discussion was totally normal. I was curious if I was doing something wrong & apparently I am. I will try to seek resources for help.

This touched me, because you said you were a dancer so you could understand the pressure. I will try to seek help from friends and a nutritionist.

I will talk to the nutritionist they provide

More like hopefully suggesting. I am fully aware. Am I am conscious on keeping myself healthy enough to pursue dance

I turned 18 on Nov. 26th. And my teachers have suggested it and it will show on my scores from the evaluations they give me in a month.

I have auditioned, been accepted to, and currently train at one of the top ballet academies in the United States & the number 2000 means nothing. It is was under the suggestions because my original name was taken

Weight standards for normal people is different than for ballet dancers. This is not considered underweight for ballerinas

I might mention I'm a serous ballet dancer and I have no option
