For those who had Eating Disorders       04/13/05 01:27 PM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois Have your doctors given you any idea on if Eating Disorders cause permanent damage to our GI systems that perhaps will not be alleviated by any diet or drug? I'm just afraid that my long battle with my Eating Disorder (went down to 69 pounds and stayed around 80 (I'm 5'5 1/2" tall) for most of my adult life because of anorexia) has brought me to a place where I will never experience any resemblance of normalcy. My doctor told me that it's usually only the Eating Disordered people who have abused laxatives who experience permanent problems, and he assured me that once my body got used to eating normally, the pain and symptoms would go away. Well, that was 2 years ago! What have your doctors told you? I believe the ED caused the IBS, but I'm afraid that since I developed my problems from this eating disorder, that maybe that is why I am not responding as well as others on the board who have not had this trauma to there insides. I had a colonoscopy done about 3 years ago and that didn't show any damage, but I had some awful bulimic episodes after that, so don't know if there was damage after that. I also had an endoscopy done about 2 years ago and that didn't show damage either. Any thoughts? Thanks. -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!
