ED Relapse.

[bpdscared9]

Hello folks, today I'm curious about something.

Unfortunately, after having one of my worst season since last year, I relapsed on my eating disorder and I was fasting for 31 hours in a row after not doing anything related to that for the past 7 years since I was a teenager. However, I got my intake of 840cals, nothing excessive but somehow, I got diarrhea the next second and it was something that never happened before, not even when I was a teen.

Do you guys suffer from this too? Or is it my body just reacting to the sudden change?

It could be from binging or purging constantly, Also it could be from what you ate.

I never purge before so I'm quite confuse this time about it. I ate only a yogurt, some coke zero, a chocolate for energy, French fries (with no oil), two boiled eggs and some tangerine and some crackers with tuna, around 1100 ml of water through the whole fasting. Maybe could be the coke?

I'm so happy to hear you never purged before, Good job and please never do that it's absolute nightmare, But it could be the probiotics from the yogurt or the artificial sweetener in the diet coke, but it could also be from fasting then eating but I recommend only a 24 hour fast at least once a month since it's not really a good habit unless it's for medical reasons, but please stay safe you deserve food and please know you aren't alone i suffer from a ED as well, as for the relapse i recommend staying away from places with ed content and planning your meals daily but please eat at least 1k calories even if it's only liquid calories or protein shakes.

I'm glad you had your favorite snack french fries at least you can definitely get sick from eating very little and not getting all your nutrients in a good way. Sometimes i vomit or get a sick stomach. I'm so sorry you are relapsing. It's such a hard thing to deal with please try to eat healthy. I know it's really hard, eating healthy will also help if you got sick!

31 hours isn't that long to fast. Seems it was just something in the food you ate. Too much fat can cause diarrhea, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe something was spoiled like the yogurt or tuna ?

She kept fasting in a row which is still a pretty long time, but yeah it was mostly caused from something she ate.

I suffer from severe emetophobia, so I was never able to purge in a past, I think my phobia saved for once lol. Thank you for being so kind, it's been a tough season and sensing some empathy and understanding feels like home for a second, you're so kind and I wish you nothing but a good recovery in a near future, I'm so proud of you for still being here with us, I hope you're able to eat healthy and properly.

I was planning on fasting that long for the next couple of weeks and work out a bit so I can lose weight faster but I'll check how to properly doing it without hurting myself that much, or at least, fight against it again. I tried to reach 1,000 cals hut I feel awfully guilty about it, I really just wanna be skinny all along like the old times :(.

Thank you for the advices!

I miss you a lot heh, I'm glad you're still around here.

I will try my best to keep drinking water and eat a bit more of protein, it was probably the fast after so, so long without doing anything at all. Which it makes me so sad, I've been positive for years but I guess you're always expose to it.

muah.

The tuna seems to be in my furniture for a long time now, it could be that, hopefully I don't get food poisoning :(.

I will, thank you for your kind words, it's really fulfilling to see the support from others.

I will try to drink more water and stuff.

please make sure not to over exercise as well, I understand wanting to be skinny again but please make sure to do it safely, slow progress is still progress results won't come fast, please don't feel guilty about the calories, your body needs it to function plus fasting and undereating will eventually lead to binges, please be safe and take care.

I've had that after not eating for a while. I have suspected inflammatory bowel disease (my gastro team suspect Crohn's) and I struggle to eat at all during flares, but if I don't eat and then try and eat a lot when my appetite comes back, the thing you just described happens to me.

I will try my best to do it healthy and get out of this depression!

I have some stomach issues, specially with gastritis, the main reason why I had to break my fast, I was about to puke all the water I had and well, I think it's also a big struggle trying to fast with these issues.

I love my eating disorder

I wish you a healthy recovery!
