Hi
I got pains in the side of my stomach in the early stages of recovery and general pain everywhere in my stomach as well... it is uncomfortable and distressing, but try to remember that these aches and pains will go and that if you continue to eat well and rest the pains will go and ease off, plus the bloating will eventually be less as well!!
Almost everybody i have ever met in recovery from an eating disorder has experienced bloating at the early stages of recovery, it is very normal to get long - lasting bloating, but again: if you continue to eat and rest your body will adjust itself and this bloating will ease off.
Remember though, that almost EVERYBODY gets bloating to some extent, so even people who are ''normal'' or people who are further on in recovery do get bloated because this is a normal thing for a human body to do!!
However, the bloating you are getting now is probably more uncomfortable than what a ''normal person'' would get because like i said earlier: your body is re-adjusting itself after a period of disordered eating or exercise habits.
Keep going, your doing great
these pains will ease off!!
