Binge Eating Disorder

#EatingDisorders

Eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED) most commonly emerge during adolescence or young adulthood and disproportionately impact females. These illnesses often linger, so it is not rare for them to persist into a woman’s reproductive years. When they do, they can impact the health of the baby as well as the mother, so it is critical to understand the interactions between pregnancy and an eating disorder.

Research on the incidence of eating disorders during pregnancy (and in general) is limited. In addition to a relative lack of studies, the results of the studies we do have may be skewed by the reluctance of many women who are pregnant to admit they have an eating disorder. Some estimates indicate that—if subthreshold disorders are included—eating disorders may affect between 5 to 8 percent of women during pregnancy.

One study conducted in Norway found that one out of 21 women had an eating disorder while pregnant, with binge eating disorder being the most prevalent.

Women with eating disorders often have irregular or missed periods. Women with these symptoms often assume they cannot get pregnant. This belief is not true–while women with active anorexia nervosa have more difficulty conceiving and seem to have lower rates of pregnancy, pregnancies do occur.

The rate of unintended pregnancies is, in fact, higher in women with anorexia nervosa—perhaps due to the belief that contraception is unnecessary.

Research on the fertility of women with eating disorders is mixed. Two small studies found the rate of eating disorders in women attending fertility clinics to be approximately 10 percent or higher, which is much higher than the rates of eating disorders among women in the population.

#EatingDisorders

A severe and life-threatening disorder, Binge Eating Disorder is characterized by recurring episodes of excessive food consumption. A recent but important addition to the officially recognised list of disorders, binge eating is capable of immense harm to the body and mind.

Basics of Binge Eating:

Warning Signs:

Binge eating is an insidious disorder, it gradually develops over a period of time. Be wary of these warning signs:

-Stealing or hoarding of food in strange places

-Withdrawing from friends and usual activities

-Going on-and-off on diets

-Uncomfortable while eating around others

Symptoms:

Binge eating directly impacts your physiology and psychology, it comes with a plethora of symptoms. They include

-Fluctuations of weight, both increase and decrease.

-Stomach cramps

-Constipation

-Acid Reflux

-Difficulty in concentration

Consequences:

The prominent health risks associated with Binge Eating Disorder are clinical obesity, weight stigma and weight cycling. Yo-yo dieting is common among those with BED. Not all people who are clinically obese have BED, but two-thirds of people with BED are clinically obese. Similarly, while most people with BED have higher-than-average weight, it can be diagnosed at any weight.

More severe cases of BED lead to Bulimia Nervosa: a life-threatening eating disorder involving cycles of binge eating and behaviors like self-induced vomiting.

I'm noticing that even if I've taken all my nighttime medication, I still keep getting flare ups as I'm about to go to sleep.

And it's not even some of them flare up, it's every chronic condition seems to take turns to flare up just as I'm bedding down.

Which means I have to either try to heavily distract myself with YouTube videos or if it gets too bad, then eat something (leaving me more likely to binge 🙄) to take stronger or more meds.

Resulting in me going to bed in the morning and doing nothing with my days 😪

Would really appreciate any help or advice lovely people 😊
