Hi, I recently asked the question about anorexia and menstruation and bloating and the main response that I got back was not that I was bloated from lack of menstruation but the anorexia itself. So why am I bloated from anorexia? Okay...what makes anorexic people bloated? And what can I do to make it go away, besides eating? Help?
Sadly, something I know all too well. I am not anorexic (although was many years ago and am now recovered) but I do have digestive problems.
The thing you have to remember is that if you don't eat, when you finally do eat something, your stomach will have trouble digesting it because it won't be used to it. The only way to sort this problem in your case is to start eating regularly and healthily. If you do that, you'll feel much better, not just in your stomach but in general.

orphans answered Monday April 16 2007, 6:57 am: your most likely bloated because your stomach is full of liquids and stomach acids. are you getting help for the eating disorder? if your not i would strongly recommend it.. my friend is dangerously anorexic and it is effecting her in a lot of different ways. if your still not going to eat make sure that you take the vitamins that you would normally be having from the intake of food (available from chemists etc) that may also reduce the bloating but im not totally sure?
