Could a metabolic machine detect an eating disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None that I am aware: I am not familiar with a machine that makes the diagnosis of eating disorder. Certainly laboratory studies can help - your doctor will know which ones - to help in the diagnosis. But the main criteria will come from the history that you present, your weight currently compared to others your age, and physical examination. If you feel you may have an eating disorder, see your doctor soon.
