I'm sorry I don't really have anything useful to say because I'm not an expert in this kind of stuff, but I would recommend not taking the drinks again. I know it's not easy but that's all I can say =/.
and I'm sorry that you feel like everyone hates you because that's not the truth. If you ever need someone to talk to just send me a PM =]
take care

Maybe your body can no longer cope? I really hope you have got some support from at least your GP. x

Really you'd need to see a doctor to check you out; but as said above it could be that your body can't cope as well now. Also the pills and drinks are intended to be taken with food (in the same day even if not at the same time) so they could be too much for your stomach to take on their own

I assume you are seeing an ED specialist?

archer one · 13-10-2010, 11:05 PM

Seeing a GP would be a good idea because long term use of diet pills can cause damage to your different organs. Also combining different diet pills and shakes can leave you with not enough essential nutrients, which can make you feel really ill, especially if you are not eating balanced meals at the same time.

was seeing a person from a ed service but stoped going so unhelpful

Hey. I too think it is best to get this checked out with your GP. If nothing else maybe they can refer you to another ED specialist?

Chances are, what you are taking is flushing all the water out of your system. This will make you dehydrated and lead to lots of long term effects inc kidney damage.

As for the no replies, people who tend to post more tend to get more replies. Its easier to reply to someone you feel you know a little and often people will go out of their way to reply to someone who has replied to them.

Please make sure you do get to your GP, it sounds like your body is not liking what is going on. Is it possible you're not getting enough nutrition in your diet due to the diet drinks? And as Kim above has said, dehydration seems like it could be a big problem there too. (I am not a first aid advisor - but I have used laxatives in the past which also remove water from your body, and it can have serious medical consequences. It sounds like these removing so much water from you is doing the same).

Please get some support for this before you do any more damage

As well as that, many other diet pills, the newer ones, often remove fat and also can have a laxative effect which can be very dangerous and take up your energy stores. As well as this, they are not designed to be taken without food at all in a day, only to replace one meal. Doing this is serious as one drink does not provide you with all the nutrition you need and one of the things I'm thinking about is they have little fat and energy. Now little fat may sound good but you do need some fat to survive on as your body uses it to create energy. As well as this, if they have little energy and you have no stores you will become very ill which may be what's happening there. I think also, what's likely is that your body is used to just taking in liquids now and so giving it something solid will upset your stomach and make you sick as your digestive system will not be used to it; as well as that, sugar is not normally the best thing to take in as yep, it'll make you feel better if it's due to low blood sugar in the short term but not in the long term and could make you worse and as well as that could be many other things so we can't say exactly what this may be.

However, I would suggest you go and see your GP and discuss this with them as this will be causing a lot of damage to your body and it gets to a point where your body slowly adapts to it which you'll have been unaware of and then you tip it a bit too far and your body can no longer adapt and cope and therefore you become really quite unwell which could be due to a wide variety of things, some of which may not even be related to the ED but you do need to tell them about this sort of behaviour as it is a vital bit of information.
