Quote: Hi Fishnets,
I too had (and still deal with some issues) and eating disorder and I noticed you said that is what caused your IBS. Do you mind me asking how that is? Just wondering if that is likely the cause of my issues now. Any tips, advice, insight, etc. would be much appreciated.
Well for a few years I became anorexic(on and off), then switched to bulimia for a few years(while bulimic I purged almost everything I ate). By the time I decided to try to eat normal/keep food down, my digestive system just couldn't take it! I knew that it's hard to go back to eating normal again, but a year into recovery and my digestive system was STILL all wacky, I knew something was wrong. So turned out it's IBS(along with other digestive problems). As far as advice, I'm not really sure, I guess just take things slow, try digestive aids like Beano. I know for myself, it took me about a year or more to be able to get to a point where I could digest beans that are mushed or in soup. How long ago did you stop your ED? Some advice- I notice times that I relapse and eat less, my IBS gets a lot worse! So make sure you eat enough, it really does mess things up.
