If the dietitian is not specialized in working with individuals with eating disorders, it is best to refer the client to a dietitian who is specialized in that area for proper treatment to prevent any triggers or relapse of their disorder. It is important to prioritize the client's health and wellbeing, and finding them the best care is the optimal choice.
