I am 15 and was anorexic for 2 years, During that time i had constant stomach pains my doctor discovered i had Stomach ulcers and put me on a medication for it, I'm doing better an slowly with the help of friends getting over my anorexia, I was wondering if the stomach ulcers could have been caused by the eating disorder?
I was also confused and dizzy most of the time, slept for over 14 hours at a time and My family didn't know any of this, only my friends. was the stomach ulcers and dizziness caused by this, I know at the age of 14 i should NOT have had stomach ulcers

Am I ever likely to be able to lead a normal life of health? I was diagnosed with acid reflux due to a peptic ulcer and now I struggle with eating normally? Im worried this may lead to anorexia as I cannot keep anything down only water without it travelling back up my oesphosegus. I am on a low dose of Lansoprazole. But dont feel this is a long term solution? Please can you tell me if anti-depressants would be of any further help?
