Medical care ASAP: Her body mass index (BMI) is very low. An eating disorder seems likely, despite your confidence otherwise. But there are several other possibilities, including a seriously overactive thyroid gland. In any case, it sound dangerous and she definitely needs careful and comprehensive health evaluation. Make sure she does that ASAP. Good luck to her.
