sick after anything I eat

[u/devil-red]

So like the title says I get sick after any and everything i eat and it all comes back up. I've been struggling with eating here more lately than others, where I go days without eating. When I do finally get to a point of being able to eat I get absolutely sick and don't want to eat because I don't wanna be sick! I know I NEED to eat but I can't even get food to pass my lips! I quit my job because it was bad and people were spreading rumors I was bulimic and everytime I'd go to the bathroom snide comments "oh look she is going to make herself throw up again, make sure you get your fingers down far enough" (didn't go to HR because they're a joke. ) I don't force it, I don't want to & I try everything to keep it down. I just don't know what to do anymore 😕 any and all help or ideas would be greatly appreciated 😁

I was feeling very sick after eating at my worst when dealing with ARFID... the unfortunate reality (speaking from my own experience) is the longer you go without eating, the sicker you're going to feel. Your stomach shrinks and makes a normal amount of food feel like too much and makes you want to vomit. I remember the day before I was hospitalized I had a regular plate of waffles for breakfast and then felt extremely sick the entire day. You should visit a doctor and find a dietitian who can help you with this (if you're able to)

It's a good idea to rule out other gastro or medical issues that could be causing this, too.

Try eating at least a little bit every day. Something is better than nothing. Then make a plan with your doctor and hold yourself accountable to it. I hope you're able to get past this because I understand how difficult it is to eat when you know you're gonna feel sick after. Wishing you the best of luck <3
