Eating Disorder Recovery Recipes- Digestive Super-Shot and Digestive Super-Soother

Say No to Laxatives and Say Yes to Nature Friendly  Foods

Dear Readers,

When it comes to wellness, digestive health is important. People with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia often develop delayed gastric emptying. One thing I found really sad about Eating Disorder Unit was lack of focus on Digestive health. When I started feeding, I suffered from myriad of digestive health problems and there was absolutely no advice given on how to achieve optimal digestive health. Digestive Health matters and Eating Disorder Units really need to incorporate digestive friendly foods in their meal plans. Taking control of your digestive health can help you improve your overall health, well-being and happiness. I learned all about digestive health from Shaye Boddington and incorporated fermented foods in my diet. With time gastric emptying does resume and symptoms tend to improve when food intake and eating schedules normalize. I learned it’s a matter of taking simple Preventive Steps and that’s all. You can start making simple, proactive changes to your diet and lifestyle today that can benefit your digestive health, now and throughout your life.
