I don't know about your history with ED completely or the medications you're on but I had something like this happen its called Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a medical condition consisting of a paresis (partial paralysis) of the stomach, resulting in food remaining in the stomach for a longer time than normal. Normally, the stomach contracts to move food down into the small intestine for digestion. The vagus nerve controls these contractions. Gastroparesis may occur when the vagus nerve is damaged and the muscles of the stomach and intestines do not work normally. Food then moves slowly or stops moving through the digestive tract.

it can be a movement disorder, medication in my case too many muscle relaxers, and ED you stop eating the muscle stop reacting , I do think you have to be further along in your ED ?

I know for myself I just couldn't eat anymore and everything just seemed to stop and i was bloated and than I couldn't hold down food or water . I hope this isn't the case for you but maybe something to keep in mind

stay strong dear
