feeling gross after consumption

I've been trying to get better recently- or snap out of my head I guess. And I just wanted to ask how many other people feel physically gross when they eat?

Sure I'm paranoid about food and there's alor of anxiety and stuff mixed up in there. But whenever I eat, afterwards I feel disgusting. Like, I can feel the food in my stomach and feel my organs moving as they digest

That's what gets me, feeling my organs move and being hyperaware of what they're doing after I eat- the process of physically feeling my food digest- it's literally makes me feel gross and lethargic for a few hours

I was just wondering if anyone else has experience with this. Feeling gross after eating in the sense you can literally feel your organs moving as they do the normal digestive process. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Hello there :) I'm new here and still exploring the app and foind your comment because i also struggle with an eating disorder wich is binge eating and I think i know what you are talking about and even if i dont feel the exact same thing as you, i totally understand it.

Welcome to 7 cups! Everyone is really nice here thank you for replying to my comment <33

To be honest I've never really figured out what type of eating disorder it is I really struggle with. The closest one is ARFID or avoidant food intake disorder. It's like, food is terrifying to me. I get paranoid about bugs or germs- and on top of that, I used to really struggle with counting calories and checking my weight constantly. I don't do that anymore but the habit still exists

Now whenever I eat it's like afterwards not only do I feel physically disgusting because I literally feel my organs moving as they digest. But in addition to that I usually can't finish anything I eat which I end up feeling guilty as *** about then it's like I can't eat anyway because I get too anxious over it.

Its a weird combination of physical discomfort, and emotional distress over food. Honestly today all I ate was a donut and half a sandwich- which isn't really that good but my body's kinda used to it - -;
