Do i have an eating disorder?!


Question: hmm... I'm not sure if this is going to make sense. i guess ill just go though when i usually eat during a normal day.
i don't eat breakfast cause i don't like any breakfast food, i cant eat that early in the morning, and i don't have time.
i eat lunch every three days (cause i have lab lunch every three days and my teacher doesn't really like people skipping lunch) so when i eat lunch ill have a bottle of water and either a bagel or a pretzel but other wise ill just have water.
then when i get home from school ill either have an apple or some pistachios.
then i usually eat some dinner at like 4:30/ 5ish and ill usually have some form of potatoes (my family is Irish) and a little meat (i don't like eating animals) and vegetables
and i wont eat anything after dinner.
oh i don't eat milk or cheese (hurts my stomach)
i really cant eat much because for the last few months (since October) i have had nearly constant stomach pains that get worse when i eat and are really bad in the morning

First of all, if you've never been a big eater, then no probably you do not suffer from an eating disorder. If you've only recently begun "watching your weight" or purposefully limiting your food intake, then you could be borderline. You should try to eat a small lunch more often though, because it really doesn't sound like you're getting anywhere near the recommended daily calorie intake.

Second, there's a high, high probability that you are lactose intolerant. This can be easily determined with your doctor and that could explain why you are unable to eat those food products.

Finally, I myself suffer from gastric problems and suffer from the same problems as you after I eat even the smallest meals. Again, see a doctor as you may have an ulcer or other internal problem.

Good luck. (:

Those pains are probably hunger pains. Now start eating.

You might be lactose intolerant which is why milk and cheese hurts your stomach. Anything with a milk product as part of the ingredient could cause your upset stomach but you should see the doctor about your stomach pains. It could be the pains are caused because you're not eating enough.

It does sound that your caloric intake is very low. Talk to you doctor and see if you can make an appointment with a nutritionist that can help you put together a healthy meal plan that is good for you. You aren't eating enough each day to get the amount of nutrients you need for good health. Especially when you're still growing you need these nutrients and need to start eating more..

you are so not anorexic
you are the correct weight for your height!

You might be lactose intolerant and that's why you get stomach aches after you eat and why your stomach hurts when you eat milk or cheese!

Go to the doctors. They'll run a few tests and soon you'll know, and then they can help you set up a proper diet.

It sounds like you don't eat enough calories each day thought. Again, talk to your doctor and try to get them to help you. That's what they're there for!!!

Best of luck. I hope you get over this! I think you might be starting to get an eating disorder, so seriously go check with your doctor. Like I said, they're there to help!
