November 12, welcome to rags, whose daughter has WED and wants to know if there are any alternative treatments.

Rags, there are many ideas in the Physical Treatments and Non-prescription Medicines, Supplements, Diet areas. I do not know how old your daughter is, but as of now, there are no alternative treatments that work for everyone and some should not be used on children. That said, getting ferritin levels tested is extremely important.
