Thanks
Dietitian
Hi there,
It's human nature to rebel against rules that are set by ourselves or others particularly concerning food. We may find this hard to understand especially if it is causing discomfort; but the mind is a strange and powerful thing!
It would be hard to say the symptoms of overeating are the same as IBD as these are likely to be different for each person- however bloating discomfort and reflux may be symptoms of overeating.
A Dietitian with some knowledge of counselling for disordered eating or a psychologist will be able to assist you to understand and change the way you are currently eating.
Your specialist and/or GP can assist with management of your IBD symptoms.
Good Luck!

Hi thanks for your reply I asked this question but the question seems to have been slightly changed. I know overeating is not the same as IBD and I see Gastrointeralist to help with my UC. My questions was why I would overeat and harm myself when I know it will affect my IBD and my other chronic health problems and how I can stop my destruction on my body. I have seen a physcologist that specialised in eating disorders but after 8 visits I didn't feel that I was getting any where my treatment involved filling in a eating diary and how I felt and when I saw the physcoloigst we discussed what I ate but I never felt like I was improving, I am overweight as well and was told by the physcologist that maybe this is my normal weight, So that was why I stoped seeing her as I didn't feel like I was getting any help. I just wish I could understand why and how to stop it. Thank you for your reply.
