like smoking, you have to figure out a time (lets say...NOW) to stop. try eating like a total pig and keep your fingers AWAY from your mouth. soon you'll be off

There is no age limit on laxatives so you are not to young to buy laxative. Those are harsh on your system though so use a suppository instead. Also you need to add a fiber supplement and take that 2-3 times a day, You also need to get help for your bullemia as you are eroding your stomach and your espophogus with this, You are already seeing some of the problems with the constipation. If you don't get help now you may not live to see your 18th birthday,

Laxatives make your physique exrcrete nutrition previously that's correct absorbed and so which you are not getting the energy from it. Bulimics oftentimes use vomiting AND laxative abuse to purge themselves. Why they do this's an exceedingly complicated question - that's a psychological ailment and has many components although that's in many circumstances related with subject of guilt and conceit.

You need to see a doctor. laxatives will make you dehydrated which in addition to purging can really put you at risk for having a heart attack. Laxatives will deplete you electrolyte balance causing an irregular heartbeat which can lead to heart attack and death. I've been bulimic as well for many years and I've been in the hospital twice having electrolytes pumped back in and let me tell you, it's painful! You're constipated due to the bulimia. Laxatives will only compound your problem.
