Does purging & anorexia cause IBS? I know what it is, but then I don't. What exactly is IBS & what are the symptoms?

Forgot to add -- the reason I ask is because I have cronic abdominal swelling & I look like I'm 3-4 months pregnant. Seriously. I'm only 4'10" & 105 lbs (was last time I checked anyways) and I have to wear medium shirts just to hide my stomach. I look really weird.

Thank you. I definetely neede that assurance. I am going through anorexia right now, but just the beginning of it. I keep telling myself that as soon as i get to my goal weight i'll stop. But, I won't will i? it'll just get worse... maybe i need some help.

IBS can cause bad bloating, so that yes sometimes you can feel like you are pregnant, it can also cause bad stomach cramps which can spread up to your chest, and with every step you feel like your insides are cramping even more, thats when it's really bad, it can be bought on by poor diet, mine is mainly stress related, peppermint tea is great for when you are bloated, i have to avod certain things, i can't have white bread, or milk, otherwise i will be ill, the whole milk allergy thing is what started my purging, as i did not realise i had an allergy and kept being ill then kind of got used to it, once you know what foods upset it and what triggers it you can generally find some way of controlling it

THANK YOU. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY REJOINED THIS COMMUNITY. I GOT SCARED. I AM BULIMIC, BUT I ALSO HAVE HEPATITIS C FROM A BLOOD TRANS. I FIGURE IT STARTED 4 1/2 TO 5 YRS AGO, BUT I AM NOT SURE. I DO NOT BINGE PURGE EVERY DAY. MAYBE 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK, SO IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL. THE TRUTH IS THAT IS PROBABLY WORSE BECAUSE I WILL MOST LIKELY NEVER GET HELP BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE UNDER CONTROL. BACK TO THE POINT, THANK YOU FOR YOU ADVICE. IT REALLY IS HELPFUL. MY HUSBAND KNOWS THAT I WAS BULIMIC, BUT NOT THAT I STILL AM, SO I THINK I MAY TELL HIM SOON. I HAVE NOT YET BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ILL FROM A FORM OF CHEMOTHERAPY FOR MY HEP C AND DID NOT WANT TO PUT HIM THROUGH MORE TROUBLE. HE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH WITH BE BEENING ILL. SO I THANK YOU AND HAVE CONSIDERED IT. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT.

My nutritionist told me malnurished people look pregnant because some of your organs swell up from lack of nutrients and etc. Did you ever notice that the african tribes in national geographic looked pregnant? That's why! I hope that's of some help.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
