its possible that because he is under weight and is picky about what he eats that he may be anorexic or bulimic and no one knows it (he could be hiding it) or if he isn't, the fact that he is picky his body is reacting the same as if he were anorexic!. he might need to push his pickyness to the side and eat moreWww@Answer-Health@Com
