Hi there,

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 .

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!
