If you are Bulimic or know someone who is please get some help it is a very dangerous condition. The use of laxatives to "purge" your body is also dangerous and harmful to your body. You can cause your digestive system to become dependent on laxatives. If you are asking trying to identify a problem with an individual. Most people that use laxatives frequently ie. daily or every other day are age 50 or over. Also there is a difference between laxatives and stool softeners.

I used the store brand OTC ones. They're HORRIBLE, though. You do know the side effects, don't you? Very severe abdominal pain, dehydration and (obviously) frequent diarrhea are the worst. If you choose to go this route, the toilet will be your best friend. I would seriously advise against doing this. Laxatives cause dehydration with can cause heart arrhythmia which can cause heart attack and death. Believe me, I was hospitalized twice in a month for this very thing....caused by laxatives. Don't put yourself through the misery of bulimia if you aren't already. I've been bulimic for over 11 years and it's not a life I'd wish on anyone.

No. It's not healthy. It can cause life threatening fluid loss, electrolyte imbalances, and mess up your intestinal health for good. Steer clear of bulimia of any kind. Eating a healthy diet, you can safely lose 10 pounds per month. You'll then be at least 60 pounds less. Of course, that is if you are already 60 pounds overweight. If you're not overweight, you shouldn't be losing 60 pounds. Be healthy! You only have one body to get you through this life.

Those who use laxatives often mess up their body and eventually their body DEPENDS on laxatives to produce bowel movements. Stupid idea.

plz dont do this. Being bulemic will cause your teeth to rot. Not mention a high risk of dying!!!! Laxatives are not good either....maybe every now and then but they r not meant to use all the time daily. I'm self conscious about my body...but i would never do nothing like that.

Ahh...now why would you want to know that? You do realize that bulimia is an eating disorder, correct? You also realize that it is not healthy, either, correct? Don't even go there. Eat right and exercise and you'll be fine.
