I did a search on this and didn't find much, so I'm interested in what any of you have to say...I'm wondering how many of us IBSers ever had an eating disorder. I'm asking because I did, a long time ago, and I'm wondering if there's any connection between anorexia, bulimia and IBS. Like, maybe we screwed up our insides??? Or is that ludicrous???? Maybe the connection is that we tend to be pretty intense and wired, and that contributes to both IBS and eating disorders...
I think I was bulimic and possibly borderline anorexic. This was more than 20 years ago...I rarely even think about it any more, but I keep wondering why I have IBS!!? And why IBS seems so much more prevalent in women than in men...as are eating disorders.
Anybody have any ideas or know of any research on this? Or have experiences you want to share?
