menstruation and anorexia...
I have anorexia and have not had my period for 2 or 3 months, but I was wondering, even though I don't get my period can I still get side-effects like bloating? Because normally I'd be getting my period this week but since I don't get it anymore, I didn't. But I'm bloated. So...is that possible?

Hi.
Most girls that are anarexic also have irregular periods. The bloating comes from being anarexic.
I know how you feel being has I recently recovered from anarexia, so if you ever need something just leave something in my inbox.

The loss of your period is a condition called ammenorhea. It is common in girls with anorexia. The bloating is a side effect of the anorexia, not the mensturation. I wish you a successful recovery from this disease.

YES. bloating is a very common thing in people with anorexia.
i'm not going to lecture you, because you are going to do what you want anyway. but keep in mind that anorexia is a very unhealthy way of living and even if it keeps you thin now it can set you up for some serious problems later in life.
