Hi there. So I have struggled with anorexia for a couple years and sometimes my disordered thoughts become terrible. I have been Hclf since January and vegan since last July. Hclf helped my through my disorder I even got my menstrual cycle back through Hclf. I struggle with my digestive system/ bowel movements ( maybe due to my eating disorder) but sometimes I get bloated and can't eliminate fully in the mornings so I'm left with junk in my stomach for the rest of the day. When I get backed up and/or bloated I panic and stress and my anxiety levels go all the way up so I usually end up binging on oil/salt could anyone help me. Advice, reassurance that the oil/ salt is okay sometimes.. I especially would like assistance with elimination I would be so overjoyed if I could be able to eliminate all of my waste each day so I don't have to stress/ obsess about it anymore...Much love xoxo

You need to be a member of The Frugivore Diet to add comments!
If you want to heal do not do oil or salt. You may need to stay on raw and eat a very gentle raw diet for 6 months or so to heal any digestive damage due to your past history. Then add one thing at a time to see how you react.
What type pf water do you drink? distilled is best.
Two suggestions off the bat are to go on a mediation course to learn a wonderful technique that teaches you how to master your mind which will help eliminate the stress factor for your digestive issues: https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/index
And I might try powdered vitamin C to help with elimination, if you take as much as you need to make you have a loose stool it will cause a bowel movement with no side effects.
6 months seems so long :( I will have to train my anxious brain to have patience and not be so harsh on myself.. I do drink bottled water about 3 liters per day... I don't like the way it makes my stomach stick out when I drink a lot of water (I should say my disordered thoughts don't like it). To answer the other questions i last had cooked food last night, I pee mostly clear sometimes I can see the slightest hint of yellow in it but as I said before drinking more than I already do makes me uncomfortable, I do about 1-1 1/2. Hours of yoga/ Pilates a day, I get about 7 hours of sleep each night, I get a lot of sunshine as I love being outdoors because it clears my mind, I do use proper food combining because when I eat fruit I eat mono meals for that specific meal, I don't eat greens except for now and then because I hate the taste :(( I really wished I liked the taste though. And idk my calories because I don't calorie count because it feeds into my disordered thoughts that I try to rid of.. But I went raw until last month I changed to raw till four because when I was raw my digestion was terrible but when I did raw till four it improved, I believe that is because when I was raw I wasn't getting enough calories (because it is difficult where I live to buy fresh fruit and my mom says it's really expensive) but now that I'm raw till 4 I'm getting a lot more calories
