Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Coming from a former anorexic...

There are a few of us on here as well. I have been in recovery so to speak for about 5 or 6 years now. My constipation has worsened as well. I cannot eat "normally" how I use to as far as portion sizes go, although I tend to over do it sometimes. Sometimes I still feel like I am catching up on all that food I missed out on. I do eat mostly healthy items, but do allow myself to indulge on the former forbidden foods in my life. I just no longer count or obsess about calories. I just tell myself that a piece of cake, etc. is okay to have once in awhile. Once you see that that type of food every now and then will not make you tip the scale, you become less afraid of it. I assume your nutritionist tells you to eat frequent smaller meals throughout the day? I'm trying to do that per my doctor, and it's tough, because of all the bloating. I guess I'm still recovering to some degree, I just don't starve myself. Just eat very small portions, but every couple hours or so. If you need some anorexia support, I'm totally here for you!
