Chewing and Spitting (C and S) is a shameful secret sadly suffered by many people with eating disorders. It’s a potentially triggering and tricky topic to talk about, but it’s a subject that needs a conversation and raised awareness.

It’s often overlooked in regular eating disorder assessments, as not recognised as an official disorder under mental health classifications.

You can struggle with C and S, if you have anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, OSFED or disordered eating.

It might be something you experience occasionally, in addition to other behaviours such as purging or over-exercise.It may be something that you struggle with multiple times per day.

In this episode, I talk about Chewing and Spitting, the costs of this and how to begin to stop the behaviour. I hope that you find it helpful.
