My apologies if this is too verbose but I am at a loss. I began eating again several years ago after a severe bout with anorexia. I lived for a long time on raw vegetables, grapefuit, fat free cottage cheese, ibuprofen and splenda. I was told that in time the pain I experienced after eating would go away, but it has only gotten steadily worse to the point where eating is almost intolerable. I am in round the clock pain- a burning, gnawing pain primarily in my lower abdomen and is often accompanied by bloating. I have tried all kinds of special diets and nothing seems to help. I have also seen several gastroenterlogists but none have been able to provide a more significant lead than "possible IBS".
I have subsequently developed severe anxiety and OCD centered on food and eating and although I am able to eat 2x a day it is still not a pleasant experience, nor is living with the pain. At this point it has been 6 years of constant pain and I am considering suicide. Any input would be much appreciated.
