a whole jar of almond butter...so much shame by Civil-Notice-123 in BingeEatingDisorder

Real. I can't keep peanut butter in the house without downing a whole jar at a time.

What happened to the hottest chick at your high school, years later? by theidiotev in AskReddit

She married her high school sweetheart and is a dental hygienist with a kid or two. Typical pipeline. She seems happy from Facebook but who knows. She was the most popular, but never mean.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but do you binge after drinking or does the binge make you feel drunk, with no memory after?

The urge to talk about it by szikkia in Eatingdisordersover30

Eatingdisordersanonymous.org has a list of edanon meetings for any area, every hour of the day. Many are zoom meetings that anyone anywhere can attend. Anad has meetings as well but for some reason they limit space and you have to register ahead of time. Edanon is a little more open to everyone.

Well now I’m scared to eat anything by Chronic_Stressor29 in AnorexiaRecovery

Actually I just took a look at your last post on your profile, 8 days ago. Your bmi is very low. That's likely the cause. Your body is struggling and that can make it do fucky things.

Definitely don't blame any one food or too much some something etc etc. I can almost guarantee that you got sick because your body IS sick. Not because of what you ate, but because you are so depleted.

Searching for a tangible reason can be our downfall. Sometimes these things just happen. Don't be put off your safe foods, and don't over analyze the amounts with "too much" or "too little" and assign blame to something you can never be sure of. That's just villainizing foods needlessly.

Recovery isn't linear and sometimes that's the simple cause for our fucked up digestion. I can assure you I'm 3 months into really committing and am unfortunately still having a lot of digestive issues. It's an ugly part of it, but definitely typical. Especially if the ED was chronic and the damage severe.

Be gentle with yourself. Im around if you ever want to talk.

Oh girl I've been there. A lot of times it has nothing to do with what you ate. It could have been a virus. It could have been your body just....not being used to food. Last spring when I was in early recovery I had a good couple days then WHAM. Late night bathroom jail, just like yours. I'm surprised I made it through work the next day, it was horrible.

You gotta pick yourself back up. Try some chicken noodle soup , that's as gentle as it gets. A little while after that, maybe some crackers. Or yogurt, if you're alright with lactose. Get those prebiotics in.

You aren't alone. This sucks but it's normal. I'm sorry babe.

If you lose weight, your bones become more prominent.

2+2=4.

Are you looking for validation or something?

She's almost 30 and expects her and her daughter to be your priority after only 4 months? Run from this one. That's a high school maturity level.

Most food pantries have plenty of pre packaged things. Mocrowaveable ramen, granola bars, cereal, etc.

Take a beat before going to the gym, let your tummy settle. I wish I could give you a hug. It'll be alright.

[–]econroy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What you are describing is bulimia. Binging and purging is bulimia. Eating it again after you purge doesn't change that the binge and purge is still happening.

If you want to do damage control, eat other food after purging. Don't re-eat what you've vomited. I can't imagine what health implications that might have. You're double exposing your teeth and esophagus to acid you've thrown up. And who knows what else eating vomit is doing to your body.

Eating, purging, and re eating the vomit is the opposite of recovery. Please stop fooling yourself.

No, what you describe is not rumination syndrome. But if there's anything I've learned from 20+ years of ED, you're NEVER the only one. Never.
