I don't have this particular problem, but I do know that eating food too soon before going to sleep is really bad for you. The stomach problems are probably coming from your body not having enough energy to digest the food properly. I am not an expert, but I'd imagine that when you sleep, your body goes into a low power mode, kind of like putting a computer to sleep. Without proper digestion, it will also cause weight problems. My advice would be to get help either from a GP or a therapist to learn how to eat in the morning and throughout the day without feeling discouraged. I think that feeling like your entire day is ruined after eating is a pretty common eating disorder thought.

I have a simular situation. I skip breakfast cuz im sooo scared of it. I eat half of a lunch. and can only eat a full meal after it is completely dark! I am working with a team to change these behaviors but im sooo fed up with myself! I used to only be able to eat when it was dark so I know I am improving! you will get there just push yourself a little at a time! good luck!

Wow, I never heard of this. I'm wondering if you are seeing a doctor, therapist and nutritionist to help you with this.

I used to do this, but found once I started at night it was hard to stop eating, as I had gone so long without eating. Now I try to spread some food steadily throughout the day. Breakfast is so very important. It really gives you a boost for all you need to do during the day. It was hard to break the cycle that you're in, but I kept trying, even though it was scary, but now it makes me feel a lot better, as well as helping my concentration, because I have some food in me which is something I try to equate with fuel to keep the mind and body going. Also helped the other symptoms you described.

I've heard of this, it's called Night Eating Syndrome (NES). It's an ED and there's a proposition to add it to the new DSM.

The possible stomach illness could be from the bingeing, but it could also be something like IBS or anything else.

You should see a doctor, please. It is NOT a healthy behavior to have. Also I would say see a therapist to work out the emotional connection to the bingeing. Please look out for yourself.

Hugs.
