here's my story...
For a really long time, i've had stomach problems. I could burp well which sounds weird, but I would always beat the guys and everything. In the last few years, I've been throwing up. It doesnt hurt, and I dont try to do it. My food just comes back up. Like i'll be sitting in school and it's after lunch, and i cant do anything about it, so i just have to swallow. It feels like my breath always smells. And sometimes when i feel overly full, I throw up because it feels horrible. I've gone to a doctor and I have pill for "acid reflux", and they kindaa helped, but they're expensive and our insurance wont cover them anymore so i'm not taking them currently. My mom and doctor didnt think i'm bulemic, and i'm just not sure. Because it's against my will...therefor i'm not like sticking my finger down my throat or anything.
opinions? thanks...

You are not bullemic but have acid reflux. This is a very serious condition so you need to take your medication as it is ordered. If you don't take it and it continues the acid can erode your esophogus and literally eat holes in it. Take care of this now before it does major damage to your body.

ask your doctor to give you a cat scan of your abdomen. Not just give you pills but actually test you for other problems than acid reflux. With acid reflux you shouldn't be throwing up all of your food. If your doctor won't do it then go to the emergancy room and don't leave until they test you.

Bulemia is binging on a lot of food and then purposely making yourself throw it all back up. You don't sound like you fit this description. Just because of your height and 100 pound weight does not make you bulemic. Sounds like you may have some sort of stomach or digestive problem and need to find a physician that specializes in this area-a gastroenterologist.

It sounds like acid reflulx to me. Is there any way you can afford the medicine. It takes a while for it to really start working. Maybe if you explain to your dr. that they aren't very affordable he may have some samples.
Best wishes.

Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary says that Bulimia is "a serious eating disorder that occurs chiefly in females, is characterized by compulsive overeating usually followed by self-induced vomiting or laxative or diuretic abuse, and is often accompanied by guilt and depression"
the key word there was "Self-induced". You are not doing anything to encourage your vomiting, therefore you are not bulimic!...
I'm sorry you have this problem though, i would hate to be throwing up and have no control over it!
