How to determine if there is anorexia?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I've been feeling nauseous when looking at food recently, with acid in my mouth, and sometimes it even comes up as acid. It's so disgusting. Is this anorexia? I've seen online that people with anorexia become bone-thin, and I definitely don't want that. Please give me a solution.

Doctor's answer:

If you frequently experience nausea with excessive saliva, it may be due to chronic gastritis or repeated episodes of acid reflux. However, it does not rule out the possibility of anorexia. It is recommended that you visit the hospital's internal medicine department for a thorough examination. A gastroscopy can be performed to diagnose the condition. During this period, you should eat light and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
