Don't have any advice to offer but you're not alone. This is a problem that I have dealt with for years now. Even when I'm trying NOT to purge, there are times when I have to work very hard at keeping food down. I cannot bend over or move a great deal after I eat - or else its involuntary. Slow relaxed breathing and sitting as still as possible for an hour or so after I eat helps me sometimes. xoxo

Hey guys, i went through the same thing when I was in therapy. My doctor said that it may be because I'm eating too much at one time because my body is purging on reflex. She said that I should eat slower and a little at a time.

You have a stretched relflex muscle that now allows certain foods to come up without warning...

I haven't purged for five months, and what you are describing happens less and less.... I do get it once and a while, but to be honest, I can't remember the last time it did happen.

Don't focus on it to much or else you will throw up. Take deep breaths and keep yourself busy (a healthy busy of course).

Mine started to go away more so after three months of no purging.

Goodluck! :)

Sometimes I still have this problem after years of recovery. Sometimes it's do to allergies and post nasal drip. Post nasal drip can sometime lead to ulcers. For me it messed with my stomach with trigger old eating disorder thoughts. I use my tools-take an anti acid, allegra, rest in a half upright postion. Walk-do whatever I can to get my mind somewhere else. Most of the time it works but it took a lot of practice.
