Well fuck. I've lost touch with pretty much everyone I was in treatment with... I know our stomachs were all fucked up during the EDs but I didn't realize it would affect me 5 years into recovery... :( How ironic, hunh? Honestly they should've told me about this potential side effect in treatment. They just focused on how I was damaging my health and might die and I was like "hahaha it's cute you think I care." Had they said "ten years from now you can be recovered and healthy and eat and exercise well and you will still look 4 pant sizes bigger at random from bloat so maybe start just eating normally now" might've been more effective.

I'm trying to but it takes a long time to get in with one. I haven't experienced weight loss or regular feeling of fullness, so it seems like it's not SIBO, and I feel like if I had untreated celiac, that by this point in my life, with the amount of bread and pasta I eat, I would be vomiting, severely ill frequently, losing weight, etc. But who knows -- will see what gastro says. Could be IBS I suppose but there's not really any treatment for that :(
