About Me: Female, 36, CA, member since Nov 2008
I have been called "anorexic" for most of my life - it's not so simple. I have had eating issues since birth. I was a IUGR baby and I was born 9 weeks premature. I stayed in the hospital for a very long time and was a FTT (failure to thrive) baby. I had severe gastroeso

phageal reflux.I had tubes in my nose and throat from birth and I was even "afraid of breastfeeding". As a baby I have had nasogastric and orogastric tubes and eventually I had a gastrostomy tube put in... so I have a long history. I have learned to accept that in medicine you need to give a "diagnosis" so as an infant it was FTT and "feeding problems", aversion, swallowing disorders, doctors blamed my parents for a lot of it. When I was 2 I got the diagnosis of celiac disease and went onto another type of gluten-free diet.... but when I got older I was labeled "anorexic" and that stuck. In December I spent 3 weeks in the hospital with a kidney infection and other problems. Doctors inserted a J-tube and now I am getting my main calories through the tube. I am home and trying to start over AGAIN! I am gaining weight and eating a strict raw food diet... for now I'm a very shy, messed up and confused "woman" trying to find a way to get better and put my pieces back together and have a normal healthy life.

"Just to update you...
I have been very very sick and my doctors and I agreed that my best chance at life is to have J-tube put in so that's where I'm at now. I have a J-tube which bypasses my eating issues. I can eat if I want to but..."

"Hi Bec,
I understand every word that you wrote. I have no interest in eating anything either. Eating makes me sick, makes me gag... I tried everything to get better and I see that I can't. I have spent too much of my life in the hospita..."
