and I think there's a lot of hope for us ED'ers. I was intermittently bulimic (throwing up, not laxatives) for over 20 years...but have had no episodes for the last 15. Yes, I have IBS, although I didn't realize it until recently. But I think the key to healing is staying on the diet, avoiding ED episodes (easier said than done, I know!) and giving our insides - and our psyches! - time to heal. I believe that the same reactions to life situations that caused us to have eating disorders (perfectionist, striving, etc) promote IBS...maybe as much or more than any trauma to the gut! I think my IBS is milder than some because it's been so long since I've been bulimic, and I've developed a good attitude about myself and my life. My IBS flaired up in the last year because I was in a stressful situation that caused me to doubt myself again. Now, it's getting under control.

So, take care of yourself, be kind to yourself, and hang in there! It sounds like things are tough now, but they'll get better.
