She is a very tall as well as skinny person anyway and only gained like not even 8 kg in total, still doctors told her it would have been too much. In the end there were lots of complications because of her not eating even though she was hungry. A friend of her got her a skype appointment with a German doctor, afterwards she finally started eating, but it was hard to convince her, since all the Japanse doctors told her not to gain any weight at all if possible.

Yeah, this is true. While the average recommended weight gain in the U.S. is 25-30 pounds, in Japan it's maybe half that. Your friend's case seems very extreme though.
