years post recover problems

Hello  Im searching for some answers
I suffered badly as a teenager in to my late twenties with anorexia, nearly dieing, getting down to 4 stone 5 pounds, with treatment i was able to slowly recover and since 1987 have been fairly well, never eating big meals but having a varied diet and maintaining a 9 stone weight for my 5ft 5inch height. then 5 yrs ago i started to suffer poor digestion getting very constipated and some foods making me feel bloated, this has progressed and now i can hardly digest any foods except soups and soft foods and only little at a time, need high dosage of laxatives to make bowel work even a small amount. Also am suffering heart palpatations, blue extremeties on exersion, feeling the cold even in warm weather, feeling very low in energy and feeling very sick after i eat most things, iv lost a terrible amount of weight now down to 6 and a half stone and hate it as brings back awful memories, my body seems to be shutting itself off, or taking things in to its own charge, i feel quite scared at what damage i may have done when i was anorexic, my doctors are not taking me seriously and are running no tests, fobbing me off with its stress. have you any experience with this happening to others. Sorry its such a long post but i just dont know where else to turn, i feel very unwell
Thank you for listening

Thanks for replying

Iv not heard of these conditions before, will have to have a read up on them, all I know is that Doctors that I have seen just puit it down to severe constipation but if all my symptoms are just down to constipation, I will be surprised

I hope you find some easing of your symptoms too
