Re: Thanks Barbara       04/18/05 11:16 AM Edit Reply Quote kateL Reged: 12/14/04 Posts: 35 Loc: Camano Island, WA Hi, I have been reading all your posts regarding eating disorders and I just wanted to relate. I suffered anorexia/bulimia for a good eight years and luckily have been free of them for ten years. I know prior to the ED I had a gassy stomach and some constipation. I also have a mother who has had IBS-D all her life. I have to say that my bowel problems have been much worse still since the ED. It frustrates me that there is so little support for this aspect of recovery because having all the pain and difficulty along with dealing with emotional issues does not help one recover successfully. I also work in a hospital and can recall a woman who suffered an eating disorder and her system was so screwed up she had a gastric tube just to release gas. I have to wonder if having an ED could cause something similiar to what diabetics suffer in which the stomach does not empty properly. I've had a colonoscopy and it was normal too and basically sent on my way. In other words,we have done all we can do for you now. So I don't know how this can help but it is nice to relate to others. Being out of the prison of an eating disorder with IBS is still better than having the ED. I can tell you too from my occupation that people with normal guts worry about their bowels too.
