My friend has an eating disorder and she ate a sandwhich and just confessed to me that she had taken 10 laxatives to crap it all out. According to her the most she had taken at once was 6 and now her stomach is killing her.....if she won't go to the hospital what should I do?

Tell her parents. Make it look like they found something and found out to cover your behind.

You should have your friend go talk to a psychiatrist. If she is over 18 and you call 911 the ambulance crew can not make her go to the ER. If she is under 18 and you tell her parents then her parents can make her go to the ER. If nothing else have her drink plenty of water, or powerade due to the dehydration. She will just have to wait for the laxatives to go through her system to get rid of the stomach ache.

Laxitives can cause some serious stomach cramps. It's very hard to overdose on laxitives. Her biggest concern would be dehydration at this point. How old is she? If she's under 18 maybe you should talk to her parents. Or if she's over 18 and you know her parents maybe you should discuss it with them anyway. Discuss with her the dangers of her disorder. Ask her if she'd like for you to help her find a doctor or psychologist. Be there for her, Listen to her, be her shoulder to cry on, give her confidence boosts. Just be her friend.

Call 911 and tell her you were just being a friend. She needs to see a doctor any way.

Call the poison control center. She could be overdosing. Call 911 also

call an emergency line somewhere and ask them if this can do permanent damage. then decide if you need to call an ambulance. after that tell your friend that if she doesnt get help you cant deal with her issues. bulimia can leave lasting damage in the body and it isnt fair that she is putting all of this on you. she needs help.

well her stomach is gonna hurt her but she needs to drink water and eat a few crackers. then wait for an explosive crap. once she is done she needs to seek help (mental). continuance of this behavior is risky to health
