Sucks to say, you can't trust yourself to be "right" in evaluating how bad your ED is vs. gallbladder stuff. If you have an ED on your charts and you're not eating, well, of course, the psych IP is going to want to transfer you to an ED program for liability reasons alone.
BUT on the other hand, maybe your ED IS really that bad and the gallbladder stuff is a way for you to self-justify not eating. Are you losing weight? Is your weight in a healthy range or getting to a danger/tipping point?
With EDs, I'd say it's better to rely on what people who know you well think. For me, now, being married, I've got a husband and nearly full-grown daughter, if they start up with the ED stuff, I'd think they were telling the truth. The one time my husband did say something to me was, in retrospect looking back at past pictures that would flash up on my phone and now I'll look at them and be like, yeah, he was right. But his saying something about it was enough for me to promise him I'd focus more on weight lifting instead of cardio and drink those whey protein shakes to gain muscle. And I did put on a lot of muscle mass and lifted weights until my local gym ended up closing.
But in the end, you're the one who has to decide you want to change ED behavoir and get out of that cycle. Until that happens, it's hard to admit things are as bad as they are.
