A friend has the following symptoms: background information: age - 20 height - 5 ' 7" weight on Jan 2002 - 127 lbs weight on June 2002 - 99 lbs Collegiate varsity athlete in soccer in fall 2001 Popular, outgoing, attractive, goal oriented, good student Spent spring semester on study abroad in London Started losing weight while in London Returned home at end of May 2002

All her meals are monitored and she is currently taking in about 2500 calories a day. Her weight has stabilized at 99 lbs for the last 3 weeks. She has good energy level and desires to bike, play tennis, jog, etc. but is restricted because of her weight. She continues all her other normal activities and is in relatively good spirits, but is very troubled by the weight loss. She has been MRI scanned for tummors and other abnormalities - none found.Her parents are very troubled, but beacuse her eating is being monitored and the test results have been negative they don't know what to do.

What are the possible causes and what tests could be run to tell.
