That sounds more like an intake or digestive disorder and I would *strongly* recommend that you see a doctor for this problem because it is not healthy to allow this to hinder your nutritional intake.
I think that the anorexia that you may be thinking of is "anorexia nervosa" which is an eating disorder that is directly connected to body image. You are anorexic due to digestive issues and you do not choose to starve yourself because you see yourself as fat no matter how much you weight, but you probably don't have anorexia nervosa which is what most people refer to when they talk about anorexia.
Wishing for a flatter tummy is not the same as having anorexia nervosa. I wish I had a flatter stomach too but that wish hasn't become so that I feel that need to stop eating in order to achieve it. It's normal to wish to have a better figure. Doesn't mean that you are mentally ill in any way, just means that you are somewhat self-conscious. In that case, join the club, you're among friends.
can i be anorexic and not know it?
