Bowel Disorders :: Nauseous After Eating And Vomiting After Eating Supper
I am what my doctor describes as a perfectly healthy 32 year female. I have a hiatal hernia but that may be beside the point. I had been on Paxil 20 up until September. At the end of October, I began feeling nauseous after eating and vomiting after eating supper. I do not feel better after vomiting and find it almost impossible the eat for 24 hours following. I feel incredibly exhausted after 3pm, and when I feel ill it's at or around 5pm. My blood tests are perfect, not pregnant, and up to this point generally healthy. I am looking for ideas, other experiences, and general info to find out and 'fix' what is all of a sudden wrong with me!

I had this stool with bright red blood yesterday and today. I couldn't tell how much blood there is but the water became bright red with 50% visibility (I looked at the stool ). I don't feel any pain and I feel nothing at all on my body. The day before I had the stool with blood, I drank four cups of green tea. I know tea is acidic but I am not sure if this is the cause of it. My urine is fine and without blood.

View 4 RepliesEating Disorders :: Getting Panic Attacks Due To Eating
I am a 21 year old female, I am 5'3 and weigh around 103-104lb (7 stone 5-6lb).
I used to be just under 10 stone a few years ago and crash dieted to lose the weight. I wanted to be 9 stone, then 8 and a half, then 8, then I was happy bouncing between 7.10-7.12 for a few months. But recently it has dropped, I was fine at 7 and a half, but as it's gone down I've wanted it to stay down. I weigh myself everyday before eating/drinking. If my weight is at 7.5 I'm not too bad, but jf it js at 7.6 I panic that I'm getting fat and will keep gaining. I try not to eat until my evening meal, which I always make sure I have, though sometimes end up snacking before if I start to feel too hungry. I have 2 cups of tea a day with 2 sugars in each to try and suppress my hunger. I also worry that when I start eating, I won't stop. Sometimes I will have a big takeaway, medium pizza all to myself, continue eating it even if it hurts, and then half an hour after, continue eating. I never make myself sick/take laxatives and wouldn't, but I sometimes try not to eat all day in case I lose control and keep eating and eating. I have anxiety/depression/ocd issues anyway and I'm worried I may have some sort of eating disorder too.

View 2 RepliesAlzheimers :: Mom Holding Her Urine And Not Eating
My mom is eating less and less everyday. I have been trying all kinds of food to eat, and only polish sausage and potato chips seem to work. When all else fails I give her a scoop of Ice cream in some glaucoma. Last night she had a ice cream cone and mashed potatoes for dinner. The Doctor told me to give her whatever she will eat.
She will go to the bathroom to make a bowel movement, and I help her when she is finish, but she holds her urine all day and she goes in her diaper while she is sleep. She wears depends during the day. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, and she is not agitated.
She underlines the words in her Dr. seuss books and plays with her doll. Her toes and foot have spasms as well as her hands, and its hard for her to snap her night gown. Its takes her a while to recognize me or other family members. She doesn't have many words left and i have to show her what to do. She went to bed without her meds because she kept trying to suck and chew the pill and she spit it out in the toilet and rinsed her mouth with the water in the cup. (LOL) This happened twice. Medicare only gives me 30 days worth of medicine.
My problem is I want to stop sending my mom to the adult center, because she will not let them feed her and she will not eat. She just sleeps, and doesn't participate and any activities. Shes stays 4 hours enough time for me to do whatever I want. I am retired and 53 yrs old, I can do this.
My family helps on weekends, but they seem to think she needs to socialize. They do not see her slump in a chair staring and looking weak with dried lips, and seeming depressed thinking she is going to stay there. I can't stand it anymore. I kept her home for two days and it takes two hours, but I got food, water and meds in her.
I let her sleep as long as she needs too, and every hour or so I offer her something to eat and encourage her to sip a drink from her cup. I walk her around the house and we look at the flowers. I have a nice wheel chair that medicare provided and my friends come along to help me run errands.
I don't need to send her away to be with other dementia people, cause I have support, and don't work. Today I called the social worker to request in home care for three days a week and 4 hours each day. Because I think at this stage she needs one on one stimulation and quiet. She sits in her chair at the window and sleep. The doctor told me her dementia is very severe and she needs 24 hour care and requested to see her in 4 months.
She is 71 years old. This all started in 2002 when dad died. She became very depressed, and in 2007 she started getting lost and not paying her bills, and doctor also says there were signs of mini strokes, and she is type 2 diabetes.I know my mother is not going to get better, but I want her to feel safe and secure. My sibling are all younger than me, and have jobs and children in school. I retired and moved back here to take care of things and my three little sisters are scared of whats happening. I don't know what's next but I and here for them and her.

View 1 RepliesBowel Disorders :: Painful, Odd Bowel Movements
I have had IBS for 20 years, and have been treating it with fiber therapy pretty successfully. In the last few months, i've had some odd bowel movements. the first one i noticed was long and thin and tough, like an elastic. i thought tapeworm, but my stool tested negative for worms. i can't explain it, but after wiping and checking it flings itself off the toilet paper a fair distance. I'm afraid to ask my doctor because he scoffed at me when i told him that i thought i had worms. i had a colonoscopy for my 50th birthday in august and everything checked out. Any idea as to what's happening?

I am wondering whether I have an eating disorder? I am currently diagnosed as having Borderline Personality Disorder with Psychosis.
I go through stages of starving myself, then bingeing, then repeating for quite a while, but now I have started to take 10 laxatives in the morning before breakfast, then 10 laxatives before eating dinner, then 10+ laxatives before bed. I am starting to get worried about what this could do to my body, but I can't seem to stop myself from taking them.

Eating Disorders :: Bulimia And Laxative Abuse ...
I'm a recovering anorexic, now more of a bulimic, and I need advice on how to quit laxatives... I've been using them every day for about a year, and I'm now up to 170 laxatives a day (bisacodyl 5mg)... Should I quit cold turkey, or decrease slowly? The problem is, I binge about every 3 days, so it's really hard for me to stop...
View 3 RepliesEating Disorders :: Trying To Beat Laxative Abuse
I have been struggling with bulimia for four years and for 7 months now have been abusing laxatives every night. You don't need to tell me the dangers, precautions or future scares - I already have endeavored in extensive research and I'm scared - but cannot stop because I'm scared of the potential water weight gain, the bloat and pain of constipation (all which I have had whilst trying to cut back). I take 5-7 senna or herbal lax a night along with 1-4 bisacodyl depending on how much I've eaten.
I eat 95% fruits a veggies, drink 3-4L of fluid a day, exercise with HIIT 20-30mins/day and walk a lot (I work a few jobs, always busy). I have tried to increase fiber whilst cutting back but then don't go and get scared.
Does anyone recover from this? How did you overcomes fears and how long did it take for you to recovery and function once again to a normal life style?
Eating Disorders :: Battling With Anorexia And Bulimia For A Year
I have been battling with anorexia and bulimia for a year and a half now, and I just really wanted to share my thoughts and feelings about my recovery hoping some of you can relate.
I was diagnosed about a year ago when my family finally convinced me to get help. I've been in therapy since, but still battling with my eating disorder every day. I often feel extremely guilty about it, like this is all my fault, or that I'm doing this to myself. I know deep down that having anorexia isn't something that I would ever CHOOSE, in fact some nights I pray that I will wake up and be well again. But it will never happen like that, not without hard work. I want everyone to know that YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE THE EATING DISORDER - IT CHOSE YOU.
My ED voice has been winning most of the battles recently, and I've hardly eaten anything for the last week or so. I don't want to be unwell, and I'm trying so hard to fight this but I feel so out of control. Which is strange because some may say that I'm completely in control - in terms of controlling not eating. But I feel the opposite. I feel completely hopeless.
I want to be happy but I feel awful after everything I eat. One day I will feel free to eat what I like whenever I like without regretting every bite. And I'm going to fight hard to get there.
If anyone has anything to share, please post. And if you are reading this and able to relate, then know that you are not alone!
Eating Disorders :: Bulimia Basically Controls My Life
hi, i'm 16 years old, and i have been bulimic for over a year. And about a month ago i have started eating less and less everyday, i mostly only eat dinner but sometimes if i feel bad afterwards i will make myself sick and get rid of it. I was bullied about my weight when i was younger and also as i had grown up more. it is something that i struggled and still do struggle with almost all my life. i don't want to keep doing this anymore, but i feel like i can't stop. bulimia basically controls my life, and i so desperately want to be "normal" and not feel like i have to worry so much about what food i am putting in my body to just make myself sick again and just get rid of it. i want to be free of this, but it is so hard.

I have hypothyroidism too which doesn't help, but when I'm low, bored or alone, I tend to binge eat junk food and my weight is getting to be a serious concern.
The problem is I'm a 31yr old male and I don't think anyone will take me seriously. I'm not sure weight watchers classes, self-help groups and that kind of thing are really going to benefit me, but I'm just not sure what help I can get or who will listen.
