Drugs like meth may be a possibility, but you haven't said anything about his attitude and demeanor, which would be a HUGE indicator with meth.
You may also want to consider that he may have Anorexia Nervosa. The quick weight loss and discoloration of his teeth are two indicators of AN, especially if he is using purging as a means to getting rid of the food...
However you handle this, your friend needs help...even if you don't want to confront him with a specific ailment, you need to convince him to go to a doctor...let the doctor diagnose your friend...be supportive and even offer to go with him to the doctor's...
Good luck to you! Sounds like it a scary situation...
