I am not anorexic: Miley Cyrus

The 19-year-old says she has 'gluten and lactose allergy'.

LOS ANGELES: Singer-actress Miley Cyrus has fired back at false reports that claims she is starving herself to stay thin saying she has "gluten and lactose allergy" and that is why she eats less.

"For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It's not about weight it's about health.... I ate today at Easter lunch but all of it was healthy and even more fulfilling! Health is happiness," tweeted the 19-year-old.

Cyrus also urged her fans to adopt a gluten-free diet.

"Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing! You won't go back," she further tweeted.

Correction: In an earlier version of the article, the word 'gluten' was misspelled as 'glutton' in the third paragraph. The error has been rectified.
