Question
I am recovering from anorexia and about 4 months ago started eating solid food again.My problem is after I eat I get really gassy.I never used to be like this and its not getting better at all.It is really embarrassing and its making me avoid eating all day.What can I do?

Answer
I would talk to the doctor about what you can do to gradually get back into eating again so you're not feeling gassy and out of it. Side effects from recovering from an eating disorder will happen, but you should be past things like excessive gas and other things. If you're having concerns contact your doctor and talk to him/her about what's going on so you can deal with it.
