Recovering from bulimia, but screwed up digestive system - Digestive Disorders Message Board

hey! well, i went a week with no binging or purging and i have been eating all my meals! i havent been stuffing my face either until im about to explode!! but my food doesnt digest rite. it feels like it stays in the pit of my stomach for like 3 hours until i finally feel fine. and then i always gag it back up. (ew, i kno) but it drives me mental! i dont have ne food allergies, but what could it be? i mean, this is a record. a whole week, so maybe my body isnt used to the fact of being full?

I don't really have any help for you, but just want to say Congratulations! Beating an eating disorder is very difficult and you have made great strides. Are you getting medical help through your recovery? I'm sure your system is going to take awhile to get normal again after all the abuse, so maybe it's just a matter of time. I'm no expert on this subject, but just had to drop in and congratulate you and give you some support. Keep up the good work and I hope your digestion issues clear up soon!

Congratulations!
As summerlove said I'm no expert, the only thing I could think that might make the adjust ment easier is smaller meals. Are you eating 3 meals a day? If so you might try doing 4 or 5 smaller ones, just so your stomach doesn't have so much to work over at once, then as you start feeling better you could start working back towards the typical 3 a day. Just an idea, good luck!!
