ty so much alicia & wind for the instructions on the above & other nausea & bloat tips. i've written them down.
kristen, i'm yet another who can relate to this cruel joke, this bloating re: (in my case) formally being WAY to thin. 80-90 lbs (105 tops) for 25 yrs, but now i'm weighing 145! and, at 5'3," it is SO hard to accept. crimeny, i even used to model for a local dept store. ditto the concave stomach memories vs. the current pregnant look.
being thru menopause and into my 50's has made me obsess much less on this, have less of my self-esteem tied to it, but it's still something that bothers me at times - like the infamous going to *attempt* to buy new pants. i'm now down to finding half-way stylish stretch capris/ jeans. never thought this would happen to me, especially as it never did to my mom, who had all the same dxes and struggles.
i'm one who never lost their period, and seem to have no lasting organic damage. but, who knows what's down the line?
anyway, i so hope you find some help/ solutions. btw, i've read alot tying ibs to anxiety and depression, but nothing citing an e.d as actually causative of ibs. (perhaps i'm wrong.) but, i know it certainly 'feels' that way. how could it feel otherwise?
edited to add, this is the order in which these came up... for me:
1) major depressive disorder w/ attendant anxiety - since childhood
2) ibs-c and/ or constipation - since childhood
3) eating disorder - anorexia - OR could have been 'just' the weight loss, sleep loss, etc. of the typical (vs. atypical) variety of mdd - since early 20's
