Question on Bulimia?

Question

I'm not bullemic or whatever, i was just wondering for people who suffer with this

do they throw up after every meal they eat? once their body gets use to it, does it come naturally?

hopefully this makes sense! i am also not thinking about doing this, just out of curiosity, thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, people with Bulimia (a/k/a Bulimia nervosa) can throw up after every meal. This in fact is, if this is the way they prefer to prevent weight gain.

Patients with bulimia can go on eating binges, sometimes for several months. These binges cause a sense of self-disgust, which leads to compensatory behaviors like self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise.

Along with that, a person with bulimia may also abuse laxatives, diuretics, or enemas in order to prevent weight gain. But after frequent vomiting, the (esophagus) the tube from the mouth to the stomach can be permanently damaged (patients begin to feel a need to purge after eating only a small or normal amount of food).

This is "the point of no return." There is no getting "use to it," nor is there an adjustment to continual tramua (irritation) to the esophagus (naturally).

Hope this answers your questions!

Answer 2

I haven't heard of any study to prove this, but I'm sure the body's natural reactions would be too great for it to actually naturally throw up after meals.

There are websites that actually praise bulemia. I think these people are not thinking clearly. Their bodies tell them to eat and not throw up, so I have no idea why these people would do something like this.

Answer 3

there are several types of bulimia. Some remain overweight and you would never know. Most, however do not eat, but whenever they do, they make sure to get rid of it as soon as they can. For some, it becomes easier to throw up. For others it becomes harder and they have to find different techniques. Don't do it, it's nasty.

My friend had it so bad, like you say it came naturally and it wasn't normal vmitting it used to be projectile. Plus it always had blood in it she had obviouslyt damaged the stomach lining. Every time she had alcohol she had the same problem even without eating.
