Practical Advice Me again, sorry. This doesn’t count as purgin right?🥺

[HappyKitty]

I had to. I had to ask for help. I’m in the middle of processing my financial things for medical before heading full treatment for this but like....

I don’t feel comfortable in asking doctors/pharmacist. Some drugs they give aren’t that strong enough cause I am trying and ya’ll know its hard to have regular breakfast, its tough. I hate facing consequences whenever I skipped meals (not my choice, I’m tired) .. I just feel bloated whenever I eat. My doc told me to take laxatives only when constipated but I just feel like taking laxatives every time I feel bloated, it wouldn’t hurt right?

My friends and counsellors is giving me a straight up NO! I just feel tired from feeling nauseas and bloated with food..... But I need to eat. 🥺

Yeah, laxatives count as purging. You have to let your body keep the food so you can get the nutrients you need.

Sorry about everything, but it's a cute cat at least.

It could be the types of food that's causing bloatedness, not necessariy down to constipation. If it's just a bloated feeling, then products containing simeticone or dimeticone will help.

Regarding stimulant laxatives, I'm not going to sugar coat it. Excessive use can lead to dehydration, bloating, cramps, conversely it can cause diarrhoea. Additionally, it can lead to the development of intestinal obstruction, damage to the nerves and muscles of the colon, salt and mineral imbalances. So dropping stimulant laxatives like sweets is not a good idea.

It will take time for your body and mind to get used to food again. Did you know your heart should be quite obvious in your chest, beating away all day, but most of the time you don't notice it, but I hear that transplant patients can feel the new one beating away for a while before their body gets used to it. We SHOULD feel bloated and loaded down whenever we eat, I mean that stuff is moving around inside us, but our bodies filter out common sensations so they don't distract us, you just need time for eating and being full to become a "common sensation".

I was former purging so much, I can't tell the difference between achy and full actually. I just know its uncomfortable.
