So this is some confusion that I REALLY have tried to fix. If you a living person and you are marked by Uldr you are not a Chained One. The only time you become one is if, as in your case which should be rare, Uldr takes an interest and actually GIVES you a new body. Living will never be chained ones, ever.
If you do become a chained one you are undead. You are no longer living, cannot do anything the living can do. Thus you do not eat, you do not drink, do not do any of the things living creatures do. Type two chained ones have no blood or ichor, thus cannot indulge in 'pleasure. They can consume their craving, but they cannot eat food because, like you said, they do not digest. As to how that is possible I am not 100% sure. Maybe from time to time a type two will cut open his stomach and dump the contents? I don't see why not lol.
Anyway, people get confused a lot and think that if you are marked by Uldr you are automatically a chained one, that is just not true. If you are marked WHILE STILL ALIVE you are a living marked and have some undead qualities, like being able to hold your breath for 30 min, don't have to eat or sleep much, etc. Because you are alive you can still make love, you can still eat and do everything a living person can do because you only have SOME undead qualities.
Hope this helps!
Wretched Aura: As a Wretched One Evalin possesses an unnatural aura about her that causes unease in those who get too close. It can come as a prickle of the hair on the back of the neck, a sense of 'wrongness' about her. How people experience it is different depending on their personality and how they handle the unnatural and unknown. Animals tend to become more agitated, more easily sensing how wrong Evalin is and often avoiding contact with her.
