my throat and stomach hurts all the time.
My purging has gotten to be several times
a day and when I eat anything more than a
couple of crackers - it all cramps up and
feel on fire and I have to get rid of it.
I don't remember feeling this way last
time. I'm so tired and stressed and I
don't know where to start to get past
this.
I can't do this anymore. My husband, I
think, is now aware of what is going on.
It's just bad. How can I stop.

Hi Posted: 07-24-08 19:42pm
Been there...done
that...................in my younger days.
I dmamged my esophugus. I now have acid
reflux disease. Not sure of the damage I
did blowing chumks, all tha stomach acid
damaging my stomach lining and esphugus.
There is also a little flap in your throat
that can actually flip, and you could
choke on your own puke...........You may
need to see a gastro Dr. I had too in
order to stop the pain and heal. I no
longer have an eating disorder. This
really shed some light on me! You may try
some prilosec OTC for a week to see if
this helps. If not, by all means get to a
doctor. Not somehting thats gonna heal on
its on. Please keep me posted!

Hi back Posted: 07-24-08 19:48pm
Thanks for the advice. I've tried tums
and that has not worked. I'll try the
prilosec and see if that works...I'm
hesitant to see the doc...I'm not ready to
explain, but this certainly is not fun.

When I was in my earl twenties and felt
fay....out of control......depressed.....I
could control my weight....so I purged
,aye and the purged again.....fif it for
about 2-3 years. Not a proud moment in my
life. Oh, and it takes its toll on your
teeth as well. A dentist can pick up on
this quickly. The stomach acid eats aaway
at your teeth. It mostly in your head,
unless you are seriously feeling stomach
symptoms, then its time to see a gastro
doctor.....get he damage repaired before
it turns into something ugly.......yep,
this can lead to stomach cancer......the
quick fix is knowing I could DIE from this
stupid behavior.....so I choose to take my
life back! You can do the same! Alwasy
here if you need me!
