hi\ni have been over 20st for 15 years after having a brain tumour removed.this stopped my production of growth hormone needed for braking down fat.\nmy resting heartbeat is 60 - 65.my blood pressure is 115/80.apart from my side affects of my drugs my doctor says this can only be down to being a veggie for 27 years.\ni do not suffer heartburn or any stomach problems.\ni walk 20 - 30 miles a week and bench press 180 lb (4 sets of 8) every other day.\nbefore my illness i was a dry stone wall builder in Yorkshire and i am of the belief that the environment and diet of your first 12 years of your life make a large difference to your body's ability to deal with illness later on in life.\nmy suggestion would be to give up meat and sugar for 3 days and eat plenty of fruit and veg.\n3 days is not that long if it helps you feel better.\nhope this helps

If it is a friend of yours, there are some signe you should look out for.  Yellowing/brownish tinted teeth, or losing enamel.  Look for laxatives and water pills.  Bad breath is  big giveaway (not just bad, but raunchy).  If they disappear soon after meals, and you hear water running for a long time, nose blowing and tooth brushing, they might be trying to hide their vomiting.  Sometimes they exercise excessively, ritualistically, and constantly.  Sometimes they play games with food, like a lot of pushing it around on the plate, hesitating, procrastinating, cutting it up into a million little pieces, chewing a certain amount of times, taking a limited number of bites, doing a lot of picking and separating, etc.  Sometimes they stuff everything in sight and rarely come up for air, then disappear for about 15 minutes and do it again.  Extreme cases are when bones start to show through thier clothes (especially their spine, it looks as if it were on the exterior of their back).  Sometimes they grow peach fuzz all over their body and face.  Sometimes they lose their ability to menstruate.  Their faces start to look gaunt, less feminine, sunken eyes, and knobby knees.  Sometimes their index and middle fingers are stained.  Sometimes they are weak and shaky.  Sometimes when ou pinch their skin, it stays wrinkled for a while, if they are really dehydrated.  Sometimes their hair begins to thin out.  When a person starves, their body first starts to lose excess muscle tone, their metabolism slows down, and then they start to lose fat.  Then their hormones start to get messed up and then their potassium levels.  Systems start to experience difficulty, and eventually shut down.\n\nAnorexics starve themselves, and often throw up the litte they do eat. It's a bog power trip that has little to do with food, though it starts out that way.  It is based on displaced anxiety and contol issues.\n\nBulemia is when people starve for a while, then lose it and binge all that they can, and feel guilty and throw it all up.  They often repeat this process several times.  This doesn't get rid of weight faster than anorexia, but it can be more dangerous.  They are repeatedly bringing up chemicals and acids from their stomach (which has mucous linings to protect it) to their esophagus and throat, which burns it and burns off tooth enamel.  But the most dangerous part if that they can upset their potassium level so much that it can cause their heart to stop.  \n\nTerry Shaivo (on the news, feeding tube fiasco, chronic vegetative state) was bulemic, and vomited so much her heart stopped. She was found in time and saved, but in a permanent vegitative state due to severe brain damage.  \n\nBoth of these start out with weight and food issues, but those are the outlets for their extreme control issues and anxiety issues.  It's a power trip for them to regulate their body functions.\n\nIn most cases, they require an intervention, and professional counseling. It may take a long time to reprogram their coping skills, and internal dialogue.  Many overcome the disorder and reach out to others to help them by sharing their own experience, and this is a way to reinforce what they have learned and a way to maintain the new way they choose to live.  Overcoming an eating disorder is like overcoming cocaine addiction.  It is that powerful and life-altering.

I had this done a few years back.  Stock up on baby food and gatoraide.  The first few days you will not even think about eating, I PROMISE you.  I would either buy extremely lose fitting pants/shorts or a long night gown to wear.  Drink a lot of fluid...  I didn't drink enough to start and ended up severely dehydrated with my organs shutting down.  You have to tell yourself to drink, drink, drink.  Get lots of rest and don't try to stand straight up at first...  A walker may help you get around the first few days.  You can rent them at most stores such as Drugco or other pharmacies.  You may have drainage tubes, they are very irritating.  Be careful with them and drain it how the doctor tells you.  Don't be alarmed if you have a little bit of drainage one day and tons the next.  I used baby soap for baths/showers...  it was mild and non irritating.  I suggest sleeping in a recliner the first 2 weeks, you will NOT be able to lie flat on your back.  At the very least, stock up on pillows and stack them all around you on the bed to make a reclining position.  You may even want to put one under your knees.  Don't try to do to much at first, take time to heal.  You will need lots of help for awhile and then some later on.  You will need to get up and move some but take baby steps.  When you begin to eat foods, stay away from a lot of sugary things at first, you can enjoy them in smaller amounts later on.  Chew, chew, chew.  Don't swallow anything that you haven't chewed enough of.  You can get raelly sick and throw it all up.  I suggest baby shrimp.  They are tiny and packed with protein.  Umm...  There is so much, feel free to message me later on and I can tell you more.  I lost 170lbs and just had the extra skin removed almost 3 weeks ago.  Yesterday was my first day back to work.  Don't get aggrivated if you don't lose tons at first or lose a lot then none.  Be happy with yourself.  You are about to make a huge mental and physical change.  The mental stuff kicks in a few months after surgery.  Make sure you have someone you can talk too.  Let me know if you need anything else, this is just a touch of info!

I once threw up part of my gullet after eating too many Easter eggs when I was a bit younger than I am now (no I don't mean earlier this week, I mean years ago). I couldn't eat or drink for a couple of days but it started to get better very rapidly after a few days. And a trip to hospital to go on a drip. It was quite scary not being able to eat or drink, even tho I was hungry and thirsty. Ultimately it was not life changing, I still eat far too much chocolate at Easter, although generally I don't eat it at any other time of year. It wasn't a burn, but it can't be that different, right?\n\nI'll also add that I think it was increased acidity in my stomach that made me sick in the first place.

its called drinking some water, getting some multivitamins before you drink, not mixing drinks (like wine and beer and vodka all together), and having genetic resistance (its in your family). also, there are certain food your should not eat.

The longest I didn't go to 'the little room' was 3 weeks. I ended up having a bowel investigation only to find that I had an intestinal blockage. Alongside stomach cramps however, I was loosing a lot of blood from my back passage. If not going for a few days is your only sympton, then I suggest drinking lots of water, eating more fruit and vegetables,fruit juices, licqourice in either herbal tea or tablet form and prunes (no matter how bad they taste -dried are least offensive!) Cut out red meat completely while you are constipated because it is very hard for your already struggling system to cope with. Please don't take endless laxatives, your intestines will become lazy if you do, leaving you in an even worse position long term. Good luck from someone who knows only too well how you feel xx

I've been researching, and writing on, Nutrition and Health for over 30 years. The combination of not eating - and alcohol will have seriously disturbed your blood sugar levels. You need to eat very small small amounts of foods that won't send your blood sugar soaring.  See on my web site:-  http://www.foodforthought.org.uk/hypoglycaemia.htm  - follow the links for more information.

Do you think there is something in your environment - at work or home - that may be a contributing factor?  Does your life involve a lot of noise or even strife?  Do you think your food may be affecting you? Some people are affected adversely when they eat potatoes, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms etc. Certain people do not 'tolerate'some foods and it may surface as pain,or seen in the face etc.. Writing is one way of tracking stress and even relieving it. Going for walks(physical fitness/health activity?)or engaging in other interests/hobbies like crocheting, gardening, sewing, playing music or a musical instrument may help.  Sometimes people are bored and may need to change a routine or do something good for themselves or other people (at a hospital,nursing home,orphanage,youth group) etc. Nobody really enjoys sickness and stress.  Fish poisoning got me to wake up and look at life in a different way.It is too long to share here so I am writing my insights as an article on  a website.

The question should be: what did you change recently?\n\nThere are a couple of things that can have this temporary and usually innocuous effect...\n\nIf you've changed your diet or exercise routine recently. Changes in blood pressure could be responsible.\n\nAlso, altitude changes will almost certainly cause this. If you recently moved and your new location is significantly lower or higher then you may see significant blood from either nostril.\n\nMy advice would be to closely monitor the situation and if it doesn't clear up or gets significantly worse then see your doctor.\n\n--\nsf

If you can right after you eat  try walking around for an hour or so non-stop, get to a park if you can, try it for 3 days straight.  If it helps, tell your doctor it may be a form of acid reflux.

Imagine your getting over a stomach bug. You can't throw heavy food into your system right away without a reaction. You stomach didn't produce an acid for awhile because there was nothing to digest. Do this, drink some gatorade to restore electrolytes, drink broth, eat some toast with a little butter. Don't go full on meals and go easy....little bites as well.
