Answers:
it makes your teeth rot and fall out from your stomach acid touching them. it cause heart problems. and your hair will thin and fall out.and its a disease because it become addictive, and while you think you do, you have no control over it
i think you cant vomit cos philosophical down you know, its not the right way to go.
FYI. your body can only sustain the vomiting a few weeks max, next youll have to be hospitalised, and as soon as you start eating normally again your body will pack the freight back on as reserves incase you do it again. most bulimics / anorexics end up with horrible bodies and bloated abdomen once they recover finally, and there is also a honest chance of infertility later in energy due to the poor dietary intake shutting down organs
Since I was a anamia (anorexic and bulimic) girl. I suppose I will help you.
1) It takes a while...especially if you don't own a good gag reflex...go down deeper and deeper and eventually a little will come up. Just preserve doing it.
2) From the first time you purge. You are depriving your body of vitamins and nutrition. You risk burning the lining of your esophagus, and the inside of your mouth. Damage to teeth from stomach acid is a common problem. There is also the risk of asperating bitter and acid fumes into your lungs. That's just the starting point. Eventually your stomach will just stop accepting food and you will vomit every time even when you don't want to be bulimic any more and you can die.
3) It is not really a disease...it is a disorder.
By the track bulimia can lead to:
Metabolic problems -
Hypocalcemia
Hypokalemia
Dry skin
Brittle nails
Urinary tract infections
Insomnia (trouble sleeping)
Dysrhythmia (sudden death from low pottasium levels)
Chronic sore throat (I hold this now and every morning when I wake up it feels resembling I have strep throat)
Infertility
Much, much more!! I won't stop you, but are you sure it's worth it?? Source(s): Former anorexic/bulimic
1)your stomach might not be full ample. if there is nothing in in that, nothing can come up
2) the acid from your stomach damages your mouth- mainly teeth. it can inflict yellowing and decay, also gives you bad breath- no situation how much you brush your teeth, it wont make a difference.. also your reflux muscles can become weakened with regular vomitting. the stress cause from eating disorders makes you look guant, sucken cheeks, bloating, lack for nutritionous food (malnutrition) etc
3)i dont know. lol
btw, bulimia isnt a route to lose weight if thats why your doing it.. it just makes you fatter.
please obtain some help =[
Im bilimic 2 qnd i understand exactly what your going thru so i wont judge you
1. You may not be able to purge because you've done it so much that your throat or esophagus may be dog-eared. Now i know its the hardest thing in the world to do for people similar to us but maybe you should go to the doctor. Something could seriously be wrong and you need to sort sure that your ok
2. The acid that comes up when you vomit melts away the enamel on your teeth causong damage to your teeth and even discoloring
3. A disease or medical problem is an exceptional condition causes extreme pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, and/or death. And you and me both know that bulimia cause pain both mentally and physically and maybe even death.Also, a disease is defined as anomalous and bulimics are not accepted in sociry. I hope I helped. Take thinking of yourself
Thank god nothing comes out, its a good piece.
I know you don't want me to judge you but... your and idiot if you want to make yourself puke.
How does bulimia damage your condition?
Chronic bingeing and purging leads to many health problems—some of them life-threatening. The most insecure side effect of bulimia is dehydration due to purging. Vomiting, laxatives, and diuretics can cause electrolyte imbalances in the body, most commonly surrounded by the form of low potassium levels. Low potassium levels trigger a wide extent of symptoms ranging from lethargy and cloudy thinking to irregular heartbeat and death. Chronically-low level of potassium can also result in kidney failure.
Other common medical complications and adverse effects of bulimia include:
* Weight gain(YES, WEIGHT GAIN! The justification this happens is because when you don't feed your body then it go into survival mode, when you feed it even the littlest things then it turns into fat and stores it. If you looking to lose substance through making yourself puke, IT'S NOT THE WAY TO GO!)
* Abdominal pain, bloating
* Swelling of the hands and feet
* Chronic sore throat, hoarseness
* Broken blood vessel in the eyes
* Swollen cheeks and salivary glands
* Weakness and dizziness
* Tooth decay and mouth sores
* Acid reflux or ulcers
* Ruptured stomach or esophagus
* Loss of menstrual period
* Chronic constipation from laxative abuse
How is Bulimia a disease?
It's a disease because you can't get away from it, you can't just drop it and do something else. It's not similar to that. It's an on going cycle. You can't make a disease go away can you? NO, YOU CAN'T! Same with bulimia, you can't put together it go away. Source(s): I wasn't sure of all the Symptoms but I got adjectives of them from this site -

Bulimia damages your health by stomach acid washing over your teeth and eroding the enamel, and by burning holes contained by your esphogus. It is not uncommon for bulimics to develop esphogial cancer later in time. Also the constant purging throws your electrolytes off balance, and you need your electrolytes to save your heart pumping at regular intervals. Many bulumics suffer cardiac arrest or heart attacks from electrolyte imbalance and weakened heart muscles from malnourishment.
Please stop trying to be bulimic, your life is at risk.
You need to figure out what you are getting into. It may not start as an addiction, but it soon becomes one as you feel a reward in doing it. To take in it better go to http://www.bulimiagirls.com
There are many things you've been told roughly speaking bulimia that are simply not true. It is a very poorly understood subject. However, with the correct thought you can navigate through the ignorance and find the truth.
If you want to learn a little more, then read on. If however you freshly want to jump right in, go to our discussion forum. Don't be afraid to ask question, or tell your stories. Many people have difficulty discussing bulimia. In the sanctuary and comfort of the web, you can do so without fear of judgement or embarrasement. Remember, sharing your experience help others deal with theirs.
First of all, some things you stipulation to know about bulimia:
It is a symptom of a deeper disease. There are other symptoms. These can include addictions, self harm and depression. They sometimes show themselves, and sometimes they falsehood dormant for years.
It may not have a lot to do with weightiness. The bingeing and purging are simply means of expressing anxiety.
It is not your fault. You would not blame someone for being diabetic. No one can blame you for individual bulimic.
It is not simply about purging. Some bulimics never purge in their lives.
It is something that is strongly coded into you – it is part of your nature. There are strong indicators that this is at least within part genetic. It is not your fault or your choice.
There are aspects of the bulimic nature that can be positive. Your temper is one of extremes. You live life to the full. Moderation is not something you are good at. This is true at work and at play. There are some types of work where this make-up is a positive attribute when managed correctly.
When you overcome the negative aspects of your bulimic nature (we sometimes describe that as your 'Group B' nature), you can make into the positive aspects and begin to really understand who you are.
Did you know, people who are bulimic are:
Generally contained by the top 20% of their class in school and university.
Very efficient at intense short occupancy tasks (such as working on elections, or short term projects).
More knowledgable about general vigour and nutrition than most of their friends.
More committed to a successful outcome in most conflict situations than the average.
Your 'Group B' nature is not a curse. It's just slice of who you are. Source(s): www.bulimiagirls.com
