What probably happened is the following:
when you dont eat for a significant amount of time or just eat a little or very low fat, and you eat normal again your stomage (really all your intestants) do know what to do no more, they dont understand how to digest the food, they are not able to handle greasy or heavy food or bigger amounts. What happens then is that you will feel sick, and not just a little. If it lasts more than 5 days (provided you ate normal these days) then you should see a doctor, but it seems like this is just the normal reaction to not eating for a while.
On the water weight, if you would fast for a few months you would lose more than just water weight but you would lose less than when you were eating a little, fasting slows down your metabolism majorly (not even speaking of the damage it can do if you are underweight)The golden rule is the following: In order not to slow down your metabolism you must eat at least 800 calories at least once every four days. Eating more than 800 cals or doing it more times a week is fine ofcourse but if you dont follow the golden rule your metabolism will slow down like a maniac (and on top of that you will get a deficit on about everything)
And yes, starving a lot can damage your digestion, for me I can only eat (anything, I mean just digest solid food) if I take medicine, I screwed up my digestion process so much in my years of ana that I am stuck with it now, I must say that this will only happen if you really do this a lot (I was brought to the hospital unconscious two times, the doctors told my parent, I was a teenager then, that they didnt think I was going to make it) anyway, this is not what you want for yourself the rest of your life, and neither do I so try to be really careful with this and try to eat something everyday, even if it are only fruits and veggies, not eating will only slow your metabolism down and will do you no good at all.
Hope this helps
