[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 506594, member: 84"] I'd say the GI doctor is your best bet. You need to rule out any possible physical issues before anything else. If not GI related, could be a combo anxiety / eating disorder, but if he can eat ok in the right environment I'm thinking eating disorder is probably not it. He might forget to eat or not be hungry due to bloating and or feeling nauseous, that doesn't really count as a eating disorder, though. As I've said before, severe anxiety can do quite a number on your GI tract. I know it has mine. If my anxiety is super high......let's just say the flu would probably be more pleasant. ugh Is he on board for the GI doctor? Because a heck of a lot of those test are downright uncomfortable as hades, as well as the preps for the tests. Has his thyroid been checked? When talking to the GI doctor, I'd leave out the "he thinks he's fat" part, let psychiatrist / therapist handle that area. You mention that to a GI doctor and he'll not be looking too hard for other reasons. [/QUOTE]
