I can't tell if I'm just picky or have an eating disorder

So I wanna preface this with saying that I'm not looking for a diagnosis, I'm just wondering if I should speak to a professional or not.

So I have 22 different allergies, the majority of which are food related, including celiacs disease. I have always been extremely picky and that limits my food options even more (mostly texture based). My appetite has always been very small, I don't need a lot or if something goes wrong mid meal, I won't be hungry anymore or will just loose my appetite.

I never thought much of it but I recently checked my weight and have realized how much I have lost, and it's concerning (won't name numbers because of the rules). I am never hungry these days and if I am, eating just sounds like too much effort or like it'll make me feel worse so I just don't eat. There are times when I'll go a couple days with only having ate chocolate milk or some snacks.

Are these signs or an ED or am I just being overdramatic and picky? Again, not looking for a diagnosis. I just wanna know if this is something I should bring up with a professional.
