Can a fear of being sick turn into an eating disorder?

I got sick twice on Tuesday at the doctors and at therapy. And I've been dealing with stuff for awhile but the in public stuff was kinda the final straw. Since then I've only left my house to take my cats to the vet. Today I've kind of been restricting out of fear of getting sick and I've been feeling really good regarding my stomach issues.

I'm just wondering if this can become an ED issue.

Oh dear! I had a good response and it just deleted! This is not the first time this site has done that, except this may be the first time it did it out of the blue like this, unless i accidentally pressed something. It's partly why i don't come here so often anymore. Ugh!
Short answer, I've kinda been through it, and in my experience don't worry too much about possible ED, just fix the main issue right now.

I'd say follow your doctor's diet and don't go borrowing trouble. It's weird you seem almost obsessed about having an ED or possibly having an ED? Perhaps you should discuss it with your T?

It never even crossed my mind to worry about if I even had an ED until I was entrenched so deep in it, I couldn't ignore it if I wanted to - passing out, no energy, hair falling out, lanugo, no cycle, etc.

@Blueberrybook So, there was so much lost in my first post, but yes, i agree it is something to bring to a therapist or even the primary doctor. Is it possible to get an ED, sure! But other than being aware of the possibility and keeping the doctors in the loop, it shouldn't be the primary concern. So yes, we agree on all of that.
But so, ok, i don't believe I've ever had an ED, but you said you have? I was going to also say, if there is a history of that, of course it all should be monitored by the doctors and be a consideration. I think Mountaindewed has a right to ask the question, considering it just snuck up on you and many others, so i gather. Maybe it's just me, but that first sentence struck me as a little callous to the obvious anxiety of MD and the situation. I'm not trying to make trouble, and i dont believe you meant it to be that way. I just wanted to point out that it's ok to be aware and concerned, but not overly so. Just adding to what i meant to say yesterday, that got lost. And we're here to be supportive. (Hugs for everyone)

Just my opinion coming from someone who had severe anorexia.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say there's a difference between not eating stuff because you'll get sick and being preoccupied with not eating/other disordered eating behaviors to lose weight. In years past you have been pretty active in this eating disorder subforum, so I would really be more concerned if you feel forced into similar behaviors triggering a relapse. Especially if you notice when you eat certain stuff/don't eat certain stuff you lose weight in an unhealthy way (like through vomiting/diarrhea/not getting enough nutrients) and intentionally chase that.

(second post in a row I used the word "preoccupied" I guess I'm preoccupied with preoccupied today )
