My ED and IBS are making my life miserable

I 15F have been diagnosed with IBS since I was 12. It was annoying, but manageable as long as I had an Imodium. Never extremely bad even during a flare.

Then I had the stupid decision to fall into having an eating disorder atypical anorexia nervosa (I restrict and whenever I eat a normal meal I make myself throw up).

Now, any morsel of food makes my stomach hurt so bad. I get very very bloated which does absolute wonders for my body image and just pushes me to restrict more. I don’t think I’ve had a normal bm for at least a year and a half (ed got really bad about then). Normally, I have constant diarrhea. But every once in a while I get the treat of constipation where I don’t go for weeks. Laxitives don’t work. I’ve had x rays when I’ve had diarrhea and it’s not overflow diarrhea.

Also, just the fact that my stomach is so loud constantly. Hungry, loud. Had food? Loud. Tourturing me with stomach cramps? Loud.
