Q. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual â 4th Edition (DSM-IV) recognizes two distinct eating disorder types, anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. If a person is struggling with eating disorder thoughts, feelings or behaviors, but does not have all the symptoms of anorexia or bulimia, that person may be diagnosed with eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS). T
A. This category is frequently used for people who meet some, but not all, of the diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. For example, a person who shows almost all of the symptoms of anorexia nervosa, but who still has a normal menstrual cycle and/or body mass index, can be diagnosed with EDNOS. A sufferer may experience episodes of binging and purging, but may not do so frequently enough to warrant a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa. A person may also engage in binging episodes without the use of inappropriate compensatory behaviors; this is referred to as binge eating disorder. It still is, however, a very real disorder.
People diagnosed with EDNOS may frequently switch between different eating patterns, or may with time fit all diagnostic criteria for anorexia or bulimia.
People who eat a normal amount of food, but become exceedingly obsessed with healthy eating, or strictly categorize normal foods or entire food groups as "safe" and "off-limits", may be referred to as having orthorexia. However, this diagnosis is not formally accepted by the psychiatric community.

If a person is struggling with eating disorder thoughts, feelings or behaviors, but does not have all the symptoms of anorexia or bulimia, that person may be diagnosed with eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS). T
A. the DSM-IV has very specific criteria for anorexia and bulimia. having a diagnosis of ED-NOS does not indicate that it is any less severe or harmful than anorexia or bulimia. electrolyte imbalance can still occur, which can be life-threatening. a person who has ED-NOS is still putting a lot of stress on their body, both physically and psychologically.
this site lists the criteria. http://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com/medicalpubs/diseasemanagement/psychiatry-psychology/eating-disorders/
This is what it specifically says about ED-NOS:
Eating disorder not otherwise specified includes disorders of eating that do not meet the criteria for any specific eating disorder.
For female patients, all of the criteria for anorexia nervosa are met except that the patient has regular menses.
All of the criteria for anorexia nervosa are met except that, despite significant weight loss, the patient's current weight is in the normal range.
All of the criteria for bulimia nervosa are met except that the binge eating and inappropriate compensatory mechanisms occur less than twice a week or for less than 3 months.
The patient has normal body weight and regularly uses inappropriate compensatory behavior after eating small amounts of food (e.g., self-induced vomiting after consuming two cookies).
Repeatedly chewing and spitting out, but not swallowing, large amounts of food.
Binge-eating disorder is recurrent episodes of binge eating in the absence if regular inappropriate compensatory behavior characteristic of bulimia nervosa.
