Yes, that is exactly what the doctors found, and what was proved at the malpractice trial.

Even without Michael's testimony, Terri's weight loss from 200 pounds to under 115 without exercise, the condition of her enamel, her infertility, and all her other physiological signs were consistent with her being bulimic. (and likely using other common techniques, like laxatives and diuretics)

The signs were so obvious they found her previous doctors negligent for missing them. They also found Terri 70% at fault for her own condition and subtracted that % from what the original award to her was.

Those are also completely consistent with celiac disease.

Did anyone discuss her bone scan at the trial? Or are we just trying affix a cause without all of evidence?
