Question: BuLIMIA??? Has anyone suffered here from bulimia?? and tell me is it hard or easy to do it?? like actually throwing up?? and do you regret it if you got caught while doing it by your parents or something?? no no no!!! i don't!!! if i did i would get help but I DON'T JUST ASKING!

Answer: girl I hope your not bulimic. If so then you need to talk to somebody and get help. When you throw up your food it damages your stomache, your teeth, and your throat. Did you know this? I hope so. You see you have natural acids in your stomache which help to digest your food. If you throw up your food after eating you also throw up those acids which in a short time will begin to eat at your throat stomache and rot your teeth. It also can become very habit forming. Sure you may lose a little weight but most of the food you eat digests the fats,calories,and vitamins right after you begin to eat it, so your mainly just throwing up food which has already begun to absorb fats,etc. This is a serious problem. If you do have a problem talk to someone and get help fast!!

Question: What is the diffrence between bulimia and binge and purge anorexia? Hi, I am doing a research paper on eating disorders, and in my research, I have found that there are two sub types of anorexia- restricting and the binging and purging type. To me, the binging purging anorexia sounds very much like bulimia. If you could tell me the distinguishing characteristics between the binging purging type of anorexia and bulimia, that would really help with the report. THANKS!!!!

Answer: the only difference seems to be the 'uncontrollable urge' to binge associated with bulimia and the severe restriction of food in anorexia Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors. The most common form—practiced by more than 75% of people with bulimia nervosa—is self-induced vomiting, sometimes called purging; fasting, the use of laxatives, enemas, diuretics, and over exercising are also common. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulimia_ner… Anorexia nervosa Body weight is maintained at least 15 per cent below that expected for a person's height. It is self-induced weight loss caused by avoiding fattening foods and may involve taking excessive exercise, using laxatives or diuretics or self-induced vomiting. There is a strong, almost overwhelming fear of putting on weight, with sufferers preoccupied with the shape or size of their bodies. Rules are invented regarding how much food is allowed and how much exercise is needed after eating certain amounts of food. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/fact… There is a little more on http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/m…

Question: What are some songs about bulimia or children's hospitals? I am doing a book report and there is a character who is bulimic in the book. For a "creative" part of the assignment, I am making a soundtrack. Does anyone know any songs about bulimia or children's hospitals?

Answer: "Fatso" by The Story. The quintessential eating disorder song. I heard it for the first time when I was (where else) in a treatment program for eating disorders. It's on Itunes.

Question: How long can someone live with Bulimia before they die from it? My best friends sons fiance has been bulimic for 10 years now and she just won't get help. She's had no health scares yet from this, except for the fact that she just went to the dentist and he told her that she's now losing the enamel on her teeth. How long can someone live with bulimia?

Answer: i would love to know the answer to this..my mom has been bulimic for 27 years! it worries me.. but really i think it just depends on everybody, like if they're doing it to lose weight and purging everything that goes in. or the occasional purger feeling guilty after a binge..who knows?models have died yet my mom can go on for more than half her life..??

Question: What misconceptions do you have about the symptoms of bulimia and anorexia? I ask because I see a lot of incorrect answers about, mostly, bulimia. I've been studying both disorders fairly extensively in my psychology class. Most people with bulimia aren't extremely skinny. Once they do reach a certain low body weight, they in the binging and purging subtype of anorexia. A person, diagnostically, cannot be both anorexic and bulimic. Well, the first criteria is that they consume more food in a specific time period than people usually would. Also, vomiting isn't the only compensatory behavior that bulimics will engage in, although it is the most common. People may also take diuretics and laxatives, get enemas, overly exercise or starve themselves to compensate for the large amount of food that they consume. Most people who are bulimic stay at a normal or above-normal body weight. This is because, when you throw something up, your body has often absorbed many of the calories that the food contains anyway.

Answer: whatsd you're question? sounds like you have all the answers. look. theres tons and tons of symptoms for bulimia. you get hair loss, you can get thin, your skin changes color, your knuckles get really dry, etc. look. a person can be anorexic with thehelp of bulimia. how do you think people get to 80 punds in like 2-3 months? you cant not eat strait for that long. ur body will make you go and eat. and if they do eat a lot because they havnt eaten in a while, they'll go and throw it up.
