Are we all recovering anorexic's ??? I'm not thinking this is just a coincidence, anymore, that A LOT of us with IBS and reflux and all kinds of other health problems are also recovering anorexics/bulimics......I'm definitely not bulimic, butI know some people that are and have IBS, too.
Why did we do this to ourselves???? I would give anything to eat, again!!! I WANT to gain 20 lbs!!!

If I could gain 20 lbs, I would look like I do in my profile picture, again. I have lost 20 lbs since that picture was taken in July of 2004. This sucks!!! I'm sooo freakishly thin, now, that I don't even look like the same person anymore!!
I hate this!!

Ok, will keep it in mind!
I was already diagnosed with GERDS and an ulcer...but by a doc I don't trust...so I shall go for a 2nd opinion.
(I know I have a hiatel hernia cause that was detected years ago during an endoscopy by a doc I trusted...to bad he lives half across country!)

I WAS anorexic, it's true. BUT I was diagnosed w/ IBS at age FIVE  (Didn't become anorexic till like age 10 or 11.)
I know something REALLY stressful happened to me at age 5 that might have triggered it OR it was pure genetics as many ppl in my fam have tummy probs...
P.S. Michelle, you feeling any better? *hugs* thinking about you!!!!

Wow, 5??? That's horrible!! I really want to have a child, but I am scared that he/she would have IBS at a very early age, too. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, you know??? Let alone my own child who's 5 years old!?!? That's heartbreaking..... 
I'm starting to do better, now, that I ate something. It's not sitting very well but I don't feel so sick anymore. I woke up at 8:00 with major reflux and I think it triggered an attack because I couldn't stop the BM's till 10:30!! I went like 8 times in 2 hours. But, none of it was D.....just very painful and the nausea was kicking my butt all over the place!! 
But, I think I'm okay for the moment. I had a good day, yesterday. The first day without an attack in 3 months!!!! So, there IS HOPE!!!!!!!! One good day and now today, attack city.......I will take it......even if one good day is far, few and inbetween, I will take it!!!
How are you???? Was thinking about you, yesterday. I didn't see ya on the boards......just me and Kate, trying to figure out stuff we can eat without puking
and Beth later on came on for a minute......that's about it. 
*hugs*!!

I wish I could eat MORE, but to do so is painful. Like you, I feel like I'm wasting away. My cheeks look sunken in, my complexion is ghastly! I just don't have the same "joie de vivre." And, I seem to be missing a CHUNK of hair!

I haven't eaten a raw salad in months! What used to be my salad bowl seems to be my "barf bucket." Sorry for the misrepresentation. Lol! I think a bite of raw celery would send me running. I miss my condiments!
I take my Nexium on an empty stomach. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not. I take enzymes 1/2 an hour before eating, or if I'm not feeling hot only between meals.
I split them, too.

I take mine on an empty stomach, too and eat an hour later. The pharmacist told me to wait AT LEAST an hour before eating. I can barely wait an hour some day, and other days I'm starving in 20 minutes!!!! I take my enzymes right before my meals. Are you feeling better??? I went to the post office and barely made it!! I had sooo much gas, I thought I was gonna die!! But, I made it, thank god!! Have you tried the Luna bar, yet??? I'm anxious to see how it does for you......I just took my fiber, not feeling too hot. I think I'm hungry......
