Maybe...: There are a variety of different eating disorders currently recognized. Anorexia and bulimia are the ones most are familiar with. Patients with these problems are commonly underweight. Bulemics may also have esophagitis and broken down dentition. A more common eating disorder these days is binge eating leading to obesity. Clues in the history and physical can lead to a eating disorder dx.
