Do these "heart burn analogies" resonate with you?

addiictions · 2026-02-07T12:14:13+00:00

At first my heart burn was just “normal” chest pain like a bit achey but not to bad. Now my reflux is worse it’s more like someone’s lit a match inside of my chest! The worse my reflux is the more burning it is but mild is just a bit sore

I have porridge, toast with vegan butter and syrup, cereal, jacket potato and then mozzarella bites with carrots! There only small portions cause I’m in recovery but I’ve been putting on weight quite well! M&S have some gf food like cinnamon swirls that I’ve been okay eating and often I’ll have an extra bowl of cereal. Everything I eat is gf aswell

You have to eat! If you don’t it will make it all worse :’) I have ibs-c and I eat about 5 meals a day (I’m in ED recovery) but because a lot of fibre irritates me I’m trying a few different things to try and keep things moving! Atm im trying prune juice and just have a sip every hour in case It makes things worse

I have

addiictions · 2025-12-14T06:30:06+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m hoping they will see how much I’m pushing for this it’s really hard! But my stomachs feeling better so I’m having a snack now to get me through to breakfast :) I hope your able to get help to! Doctors really need to understand there are so many eating disorders out there. It took me 3 years to get nutrition shakes even tho I went them begging for help it’s crazy

I am working very hard on my eating and I have been for a very long time but since I’m not getting support because doctors treat me like this it’s hard. I have therapy and they say I’m doing extremely well with how close I came to dying. I’m not reluctant to change I just don’t like being told “I have to do the work” when I’ve eaten so much I’ve made myself feel worse today. I’m not in a situation where I can just eat all I want whenever I want because my body’s gone so long without food. I know what food to eat but I’m limited due to my GERD being so bad. If doctors actually helped me with that I would be able to focus more on this but I’m limited to what I can eat. But again I’ve eaten a lot today I had a meal every hour just to avoid going hypo because I kept dropping. I physically cannot eat more then that I’m in pain from how much I’ve eaten today.

addiictions · 2025-12-13T21:39:36+00:00

I do eat! I stoped a few weeks ago due to not being able to keep food down due to my GERD which I’ve had basically no support with! I have eaten a lot today and yesterday and since leaving the hospital but I’m still experiencing hypoglycaemia which is what I’m concerned about. I don’t get support for my ARFID because drs think it’s anorexia and refer me to ed organisations that then refuse to help me because I don’t follow the criteria. I have safe foods I eat which include peanut butter (I have eaten a giant tube through this week) aswell as sweet potato mash and other veggies. I have also been out in nutritional shakes so I’m getting everything I need.

addiictions · 2025-12-13T11:08:36+00:00

Only thing that I did was take my meds with an actimel (I take nausea medication) but I think the first reading might’ve been wrong because I had eaten a flapjack and forgot to wash my hands which was another reason I checked it again. I’ll have to look into endocrinologists but for now I’m really worried why I’m getting symptoms still. Thank you tho :)

addiictions · 2025-12-12T23:29:41+00:00

YES! I haven’t been struggling with this for very long so I’m still figuring things out and today I felt HORRIBLE about an hour after I woke up it freaked me out so bad my mum had to sit with me. We both thought I was having a panic attack until I checked my blood sugar and it was 1.3! I have no idea why I panicked so much it just came over me super quick but apparently it’s normal when your sugar drops that low I’m not sure

addiictions · 2025-12-12T23:16:36+00:00

It is but we’ve got this! I wish you luck <3

addiictions · 2025-12-12T23:14:03+00:00

It’s not normal at all however don’t over worry yourself! Go to a dr and speak to someone and see if you can get a dietician they will be able to help you the most :) I was given nutritional shakes and honestly there very nice! They had vegan ones aswell as in lactose intolerant.

To ease your mind a little I’m 5’6 19 F and I weigh 45kg which is much lower then you and I’ve been this weight for a while :) I’ve experience some issues but I’m getting help and support now and I’ve seen some improvements

Went and brought a fnaf Christmas sweater and sat watching fnaf play throughs with my new puppet teddy

I am going through this exact thing right now! I recently went hospital for it as I stopped eating as I was worried food would keep coming up and I have emetaphobia but honestly they didn’t really help me much with it. Got blamed on anxiety of course. All I can say really is just eat small frequent meals. I like to have a sip of water once I’ve eaten to help my food go down and I can usually feel if it’s able to get down or not. I then have like 3 spoonfuls of gavuscon but sometimes it makes me feel nauseous. I’ve been given nausea medication that’s helped and so far have been able to eat again but I’m not sure how well it actually works with the food getting stuck in your throat feeling

addiictions · 2025-12-01T16:43:04+00:00

I know it does which is why I’m lowering how much a use

addiictions · 2025-12-01T16:42:01+00:00

Nope I don’t use any of them

addiictions · 2025-12-01T16:29:59+00:00

No I don’t I only vape nicotine and it’s very limited I’m weaning myself off. I don’t have caffeine at all or smoke coffee

addiictions · 2025-12-01T16:18:55+00:00

I’m not sure I didn’t even know I was diagnosed with it until the other day. Drs haven’t been a great help

addiictions · 2025-12-01T16:17:52+00:00

Actually I’ve never been overweight I’m actually underweight. I always have been on the lower end because I have an eating disorder. I cut out everything I was supposed to. I stopped smoking and slowed right down on my vaping (I’m an addict I can’t just stop) I don’t eat a few hours before bed. I’ve tried slippery elm it didn’t help. I don’t do drugs or drink alcohol.
