anyone else struggle with digestive issues during recovery??
really tmi and kinda embarrassing to share.
i’ve recently discovered that i have been engaging in highly disordered eating habits over the last few months bc of a traumatic experience. i (22 yo) have recently started the process of recovering from my disordered eating but i find that every time i have a small meal or snack, no matter what it is, about 20 minutes later i have to go to the bathroom. i also have horrible stomach pain and have to go every 20 minutes. ive never experienced anything like this before. i normally would go every day or every other day pretty regularly, but now i find myself going every 20 minutes and when the cramping starts i have to go immediately. it’s really debilitating and makes me not want to continue. has anyone else experienced anything like this during recovery? i’ve read that it is most common to experience bloating and constipation but this seems to be the opposite.
any advice or suggestions would be so appreciated as this is terribly painful. hoping a prebiotic might help a little bit. thank you!
