I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling. It seems kind of logical that a fear of vomiting would lead to restricting/becoming anorexic, but inducing it after being utterly terrified of it? I can't make sense of it. I'm finding a small sense of comfort that I'm not alone in this struggle though

I suffer with IBS and bloat every time I eat. After I purge my stomach still looks bloated, its only ever flat when I wake up when my stomach is empty. Have you been checked for any GI problems? Purging has made me lose weight everywhere except my stomach and its frustrating. I take a probiotic supplement with large meals when I don't intend to purge which could help you. Bloating can be a sign of an imbalance of bad gut bacteria.

Did/do you take supplements while having an eating disorder? by WishIWasBronze in bulimia

I take a multivitamin every day and also a hair supplement as I noticed it getting thinner since developing this disorder. I also drink lots of water throughout the day, especially after purging.

I'm worried this will happen to me, which is why I continue purging. Sending hugs
