Speak to her parents and also your parents. You will never "catch her within the act". I speak from experience. The first clue (which you caught) was the reality that she is at a low weight and go to the bathroom immediately after intake. She is probably binging and purging and No she will never fess up to it. Arm yourself with some literature from the library, from the internet, or from any drinking disorder clinics who will send you something. Once you natter to her parents, then distribute them the literature.

the best piece to do is to talk to her family connections about it, and product sure that they are aware of your concerns. They probably already know of the problem, and unless they are in denial they are already trying to do something almost it. There are many places that treat drinking disorders, but it is really up to her immediate people to solve the problem. So perhaps settle to her mom or dad, brother or sister etc if possible.
