can malnutrition cause long lasting vitamin deficiency problems? I was badly neglected and abused as a child and later developed an eating disorder. I am doing well now and eat well, but the doctors say i still have to continue taking vitamins and iron and when i stop them i get quite ill. my deficiencies now are not caused by my diet, so could it be long term affects as a result of malnourishment in the past?
