1) Anemia is a blood disorder.
2) Bulimia is when you gorge yourself with an incredible amount of food, then go throw up
3) Anorexia is another eating disorder.. that is when you are skinny as a rail and won't eat because you think you are too fat.
If your 8 year old niece is having that much trouble, the mother needs to take her to the doctor.

The best thing you can do is take her to a person that will help her eat, but if she is eating, I'm not sure what you should do. Im sorry. Best of Luck.

Anemia is low iron. Anorexic is starving ur self because of a distorted body image. Bulemia is eating large quanties of food and then making ur self vomit.
