my best friend used to be bolimic in middle school. she stopped a few years ago, but now her body is acting very strange. she watches what she eats so she doesn't trigger her bolimia, but even when she eats a little bit, she cant hold down her food, when she throws up there is some blood and she says her intestines her (not her stomach, but her actual intestines) she gets these red dots all over her face, chest and arms. and at random moments she gets sharp pains in her heart (not sure if its from eating)
I've done some research and i found out she can get throat cancer and even die. I want to help her, but we both dont know what to do.
besides a therapist what are some ways for her to stay healthy? is there any kind of medication she can take to make her stop throwing up?
*serious answers only please. I'm so worried about her.

Oh sweetie i am so sorry I myself was both anierxic and bolmic and that was many many years ago and i still suffer to this day with problems the only thing to do is to take her to a doctor and have all the real important tests done to make sure that her organs and what not are working properly.

Shes going to have to see a doctor and a nutritionist. A nutritionist will help her with watching what she eats, and reteach her how to eat and how much to eat. She needs to get help soon. Throwing up blood is not a good sign. I would not worry about the throat cancer as much, there could be alot more things wrong with her. Your a good friend by wanting to help her. But the only way she will get better is if she wants to.

by the sounds of things she has already caused harm to her body and she should she a doctor because she really need she help of a doctor right now to help...she doesn't even know what exactly is wrong with her and it can be something very dangerous just like you said she can get throat cancer...the best way for you to help her is to make sure she gets to a doctor and you can even go with her for support if you want to, good luck....

first of all ....if I were in her condition I would see a naturapathic doctor .....and get a scope of where metabolically her body is at .....more than likely if this person can afford it ....go for more of the raw foods ......foods w/ least amount of process...I know its more work prepping for meals ...but in the long run for me its been rewarding .....I have gone completely organic ...for the pesticides and other chemical imput on our foods cause's my body some additonal stress ....which it don't need .....your friends problem is serious enough .......good luck ...

i agree with tsull73, she needs to tell her parents so that they can take her to the doctor and get her some help and medication.
