Anorexia And Involuntary Vomiting Posted: 04-29-07 07:16am
i've been struggling a bit with starving
myself, but sometimes when this happens
and i get really hungry, i throw up
involuntarily. does this happen to anyone
else?
Yes, it happens to me all the time. Your
stomach gets these hunger pains and it has
nothing to digest cuz of the emptiness,
therefore, it's a message your stomach
sends out to you that you need to eat
something. There could also be something
to do with the amount of acid vs. food in
your stomach.
I hope this helps. Best wishes to you.

Hello dear,
one thing you can do to try and stop the
thowing up is drink some water once you
get that hunger craving. not to say its a
good thing that you don't eat but i
understand... when i want to fight a
craving i will either eat an ice pop or
drink a glass of water.that way you are
putting something into your stomach and it
will not hurt to thow up if you do ....
hope this helps some .

So Relieved to Read This! Posted: 10-03-07 23:44pm
katy, if that is your name: i am so
relieved to read your post! i have not
met anyone or spoken with any health
professional who has heard of this or
understands. i was confronted by my
partner a few months ago with the idea
that i have an ED. i was shocked. it
never occurred to me that i have an ED
before. i am battling with the idea. i
eat daily and was "only" trying to avoid
eating dinner around the time that the
throwing-up was becoming bad. i am trying
to be healthier, though find myself
plotting when i can avoid eating. i
really hate admitting that i probably have
an ED because i DON'T WANT TO have to gain
weight as a part of treatment. i don't
want to have to admit i have a problem i'm
out of control of. i am still confused
because (sorry for pointing you out), but
i do not look like kayla. i'm not that
skinny. i have a normal, slim body. i am
5'4", small boned, and the lowest weight
i've gotten to is 102. i currently weigh
105. i haven't thrown-up recently, as i'm
really working on controlling it. i'm
also realizing, after reading this forum,
that i am probably not vomiting because
i'm not starving myself lately either. i
suppose i'm sharing all of this because i
would love to have contact with more
"sisters" who understand this and can help
me to understand what it's about! thanks.
i would love to hear from the original
poster, too!

Just a small reminder, we try to refrain
from posting weights on here as it may
trigger anyone still struggling with an
ED.
