Vomiting each time i eat

[dokstar]

I have forced my self to starve, i know i have a mental problem. My family has been very supportive, i've been taken to doctors, have followed treatment against anorexia, however, every time i eat, my body just rejects the food and i immediately wanna go throw up. I don't do it on purpose, but each time i eat, i need to vomit. It's like my body doesn't accept food anymore. I really wanna get healthy, i wanna live a normal life. What should i do? I hide it from my dear ones, but i think they will soon understand it. Please help

Hey dokstar, I’m glad you have found the power to write openly about it, i say that because people that struggle with anorexia find it hard to speak about it. First, you should know that there are lots of young women facing same problem as you, and there are specialists that can help you out. You vomit involuntarily every time you eat because your brain doesn't accept food, it is a psychological estate where you have instilled yourself "food is bad", "food is poison" and now it is a defense mechanism of your organism to get rid of the "bad" thing. Tell yourself that food is good, it is life energy for your body. Eat it with pleasure, at least try to. Drink a full glass of warm water before eating, which shall help. 

Also, the fact that you are hiding it from your family is not the best decision, talk to them, let them help. Visit a doctor, you need it.

Wish you all the best and be healthy!

So, I am in the same situation as you and it's hard to find someone who can help when no one understands what are you talking about and all they do is look at you strange. I don't hide it from my family, however is a problem and I find it really hard to eat at least something. I really wish I could stop eating at all because I'm tired of feeling sick whenever I eat. I really do feel sick to my stomach when I eat, I always end up with diarrhea and sometimes I feel nauseous, the bad part of this is that it lasted for a couple years now and it's harder to endure than it seems to. I freak that I will throw all up when I even have only one bite of something. I was 80 pounds when my family helped me to get into a private clinic which helps people with eating disorders. They seemed to help me a little bit and I was able to eat again but I still have the feeling like I'm going to throw up any minute now. I'm still really scared about it and even though I gained some weight back I still feel sick. In some months I actually gained some weight (about 20 or a little more) and I felt better, but now I feel the same, it has all started and I start losing weight again. Kaya said that is in our mind, I know that, I know that I should change that and probably the biggest problem is in my mind, however I do need help in order to get rid of this, believe me is easier said than done to make this happen. I don't know how to make it stop and that's why I am here, maybe someone knows something. Really hope it.

Here I am with the same problem trying to search for someone who can help. I'm 17yrs old guy still in high school and tired of getting teased by others in my school because of my weigh. I'm so frustrated and I'm very upset that there's nothing I can do to change this. I just don't get why I have this problem. Every time when I feel that I'm hungry I do eat but... I just can't finish or to eat a little bit more because I feel like I'm going to thro up. I really want to gain some weigh and I'm trying but nothing works out. My father always tells me that I should gain some weigh but how I am supposed to do that when I'm feeling this way? Like I don't want this too... My problem is that when I'm eating something I suddenly get the feeling like I'm going to throw up and I just can't eat more because I am losing all the appetite I had. If I'm able I just chew very much and bite down the remained food left in my mouth and that's all. I can't eat after that few hours. There are also other cases when I'm feeling very hungry and I'm thinking that this is it, I'm going to eat normally but no, I'm just taking few bites of something and then I feel really full, like I ate alone a pig and I'm about to throw up again. Once I have tried to subdue this feeling but nothing worked out because I have actually vomited and since then I'm just trying to make it real. Is there anyone who knows what can I do about it? I think that there should be some kind of meal plan or something specific that I should do or eat to have appetite and to get rid of this vomiting feeling. Am I right? Please help me, I want to be normal.

Hi! I have a problem for the past 1-2 months. I have been feeling myself sick when I eat or even think about food. I really don’t know why. This is very unusual to me, because I really love food and never had eating disorders before. Now, when I think ,when I eat or also smell food I feel myself very bad, like I’m going to throw it up even if I didn’t touched it. Only recently, I have started to take some pills, even if I experienced this feeling before. Please help me; I don’t wanna feel this again. If I over eat something and after this I’m not able to eat it again anymore because I feel this strange sensation of sickness. It’s very hard for me to confront my disease. Help!!!

I was suffering for the same issue for entire years and trust me I do know how you feel. Anyway I have to tell you that there is a solution and you all can get treated! For me it was really bad! I got to the point where I weighed 80 pounds but during that time I finally was given help! Sincerely I had a period of time when I thought that I'm going to die! I actually stopped eating all together and I thought that this is the end of me. I know how bad this can be! Each bite I took it was with the fear that I'm going to throw up or to make me feel really sick! However I was diagnosed with gastritis and I was told that this is something permanent but I can find a relief. Your doctor should be careful because it has approximately the same symptoms as ulcers and gallstones as well as other issues. Even being treated I still have to be very careful what I eat because sometimes I still can have some of these attacks. I have a high level of acid in my body, in my stomach so I have to avoid every food and drink which contains acid. The symptoms of gastritis can be severe if left untreated so I strongly advise you to tell your doctor about gastritis as an option and let him check it out. Well this was my problem and maybe is the same for you, hope I helped someone...

I have had the same issue before, but only the couple of days ago it started all over again and I'm worried now. I see that many people out there are struggling with this problem and to be honest I didn't expected this because I thought it something uncommon for one to reject the food. Every time I eat, it feels like it is going to come back up again. Many times I feel really hungry and I push myself to eat but I cannot. I feel that I'm hungry but I just can't eat. I do my best to hold it the food and I know that I should stop eating lest I will vomit. I hate vomiting! In fact, who loves it? When I had it for the first time I went to the doctor but he wasn't able to help me. Now I don't really want to go again and to wait for him 3 or 4 hours on the hospital, to spend another hour for him to check and to make some tests and at the end to tell me that he cannot help me. This is the reason why I am here and I am searching my symptoms over the internet, I really hope that someone found the cure, but I see that it's not that easy. I really expected that with all the technology and advancement in medicine we have nowadays I'll be treated within a week, however I was greatly wrong... unfortunately. Please someone give me some ideas.

Hi everyone, I’m only 17 years old and for the last 2 months I have been having the same situation as you guys, however it seems that everything is only getting worse and worse because now, even the smell of food is making me feel sick (I was thinking that over time, everything would get better instead of getting worse). I’m not under weight now because I am used to weigh 150 pounds (and for a girl, that is really a lot). even though I don’t mind to lose some weight, it scares me that I’m losing my weight very rapidly and that’s not good for my health. In less than 2 weeks I’ve lost about 10 pounds. Being scared about this I couldn’t tell anybody but my boyfriend who suggested me to go to a doctor. That’s what I’ve done but the doc. said that I need to talk with my parents first. Well, being left with no other options, I’ve told my parents and I’ve only made it all worse as they started to blame it all on me for being like this, saying that I’m depressed and that I’m not doing anything etc. while this isn’t true as I’m cleaning my own stuff, I’m cooking myself (even though I have this issue) and I’m also buying all the food and everything for myself. my parents are only paying for the fact that I’m still living with them and education. That’s it. I’m also trying to eat healthy food (whenever I can eat) that are rich in fibre. However, this sickness I have from the food definitely isn’t a good symptom. I can’t visit a doctor and there’s nobody around me who can help. what I need to do now??
