Eating disorders and V?

I'm just curious if any of us have had a history of eating disorders. I was just reading about a woman who suffered from bulimia and has vulvodynia, and just realized that my V started shortly after I became bulimic.

I am wondering if there could be any connection. The acid caused by bulimia, the poor immune system of anorexia?

Any thoughts?

I was anorexic when I was about 13 until about 15 because it felt like something I could control in my life after an incident I couldn't. I'm not sure about the connection though that was over 20 years before I got V so I have no clue if they're connected except perhaps in a stress way? My eating problems were triggered by a huge stress and I've probably been clenching my pelvic floor ever since seeing as I do it when I'm stressed. That's the only connection I can see, stomach acid is present in everyone and bulimia would just have it affect upwards rather than downwards I would have thought!

I have had an eating disorder since I was 8 years old, I am now 22. I think eds do have an affect, as mine was a result of my body not being able to fight off an infection. I have suffered mainly with anorexia, with bouts of bulimia, funnily enough I slipped into my bulimia about 2 months ago. Since then my vulvodynia has got worse, I definately think there is a link. Also the laxative abuse, diet pill abuse etc cannot surely help.
It makes sense strong, healthy bodies are more able to fight things off and run properly, I hope you are able to recover and this has helped.

I've never had an eating disorder but I am 22, 85lbs and 5'1"-- so my BMI is extremely low and I believe myself to be extremely malnourished. My breasts never developed like other women either. I see Dr. Munarriz at Boston University Medical Center and he did mention during my initial consultation that there is speculation about women my size being more prone to Vestibulitis so I often think my malnourishment has something to do with it. But I'm honestly unsure, it's just speculation.

I blame myself all the time. I saw a nutritionist at one time who said that I have "disordered eating" -- I don't intentionally try to lose weight but I don't eat enough to gain any--barely eat enough to maintain. I often blame myself for this--If I could just find a way to stuff my face with food and gain weight maybe my tissue would be healthier. Maybe then I would produce testosterone like normal women.

Up until very recently I have always been naturally thin but could eat whatever I liked and not put weight on ( one of those people I know!) However, now I would say I am a size 12-14 and I still eat and drink whatever I fancy really. I am certainly not a healthy eater, though I do try to eat fruit and veg etc. I don't diet and I don't do much exercise. So I can't help with an eating disorder link however judging by my lack of healthy lifestyle maybe there is a link to diet in general?
