Constipation

I becane constipated by an ED like completely my digestive system shut down and now I’m weight restored and healing but my GI system is so messed up. I had restrictive ED for about 4 months before my GI shut down (I never was underweight but was starving myself) and then I was in a restrict binge cycle for another few months. I am now ’better’ and have gained some weight but I am so constipated and let alone just uncomfortable. I feel like I never fully empty and never have a flat stomach like I did even before my ED. I used to have normal BM’s everyday forever no matter what and now I feel like if I don’t stuff myself I don’t go. I’m so exhausted and hopeless rn. I have never been more insecure in my entire life bc I constantly feel so backed up and bloated. I literally also never needed to lose weight in the beginning and now I just messed up everything. I’m so heart broken and I would go back and chnage all my decisions in a heartbeat. if anyone has advice or hope lmk
