Could I get whey protein on prescription?

Heya all,

this might be a bit of a stupid question, but could I get whey protein or some kind of weight gaining supplement free on the NHS? I'm 18, 6ft2.75, and only just over 9 stone - quite obviously underweight.

Ooh, and before anyone tells me I need to start exercising, it's precisely because I exercise that I'm in this position. Years of running 6 miles every Saturday along with years of Shotokan Karate, and gym work for the last year or so to be precise. Still being <13% body fat is fun ^__^

Anywho back to the point sorry, do you know if it's possible?

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

I totally agree with Concerned person! I came to this thread genuinely looking for an answer to 15 years of Bulimia. I can't eat more. I only eat healthily. I vomit numerous times a day, every day. Liquid does not seem to bother me (apart from milk). I want to exercise but I am afraid exercise may only enhance the anorexic attributes associated with bulimia. I want to put weight on. I want to exercise and be more healthy. There is no magical medication I can take. I don't want to die this way! The only logical conclusion I can come to is I need to supplement my normal food intake with Whey Protein (or something similar), gain weight, exercise, and try to eat more. I hope exercise will improve my mental health and ultimately forge some new feel-good pathways with my relationship with food. I too want my life back! Is this not what the National Health Service is for? I will book a doctors appointment today. I will figure this out one way or another!

I see how that may have been a better option. Commenting or posting is not something I am too familiar with.
In fact, this is the first thread I have ever commented on so please excuse my noobishness.
That said, the original question did not receive a definitive answer and the tone did not help my search for advice.
A genuine question, Google top 3 search result, negative outcome. Ideal this is not.

At this time I am not receiving help. I have sought help in the past and had few meetings with medical professionals some years ago.
I feel I let myself down. I convinced myself I didn't need help and I grew accustomed to the idea Bulimia is who I am.
I thought I would grow out of it eventually but here we are today.

I had a conversation with a lady recently with whom I had spoken to before about my Bulimia. She asked if I had seen anyone yet?
I replied "No, I haven't had time." She pointed out that time is all I have, which made me realise that what I am doing is only reducing the time I have left.

I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

I replied to this thread because it is the third time I have read it in two weeks whilst looking for the same advice.

I know the quick and easy thing is to just go to the doctors, ask for help, and ask this same question.
Further more, I also know it is very important to get a doctors advice before taking any dietary supplements when challenging an eating disorder.

The first step is always the hardest.

I guess this is mine.
