I am bulimic, please please read! Not your average ED question?!


Question: I was planning on calling our phone doc the other day, because for the past few months my stomach has been bloated 24/7 (its hard, looks like an egg, but it is not painful at all). And I have gas a lot, like every time I eat, it happens. It basically happens whenever. I think I just have a problem with too much gas in my body.
But, Since about January or Feb of 07 I have been having periods of I would throw up for like 10 days almost every day (on purpose of course) and then go like 3 weeks without throwing up. And then maybe I would go 3 day and throw up every day, then wait a few weeks...etc. etc. etc...It just repeats itself. Basically, my body gets breaks (like i said, I go weeks sometimes without purging), but why is my body so extremely bloated all the time and I have gas all the time? I don't get it.
But, anyway. I wanted to get some answers on here first before talking to the phone doc.BTW I always eat healthy and am very active in sports. I never overeat like many bulimics

Sounds like you're developing a serious medical condition. Please get psychological help as well as medical care.

Your bulimia has screwed up your digestive system. See your doctor before you die.

go for toilet.

It has links to articles too. Good luck to you. Hope this helps.

call the docters noww! please!!!

I applaud you for your plan to call your phone doctor, since the doctor is the best source of information you can get. Describe to your doc exactly what you have written here - (copy it and read it if you need to). Let the doctor make recommendations - and if that is coming in to see him/her please do that. Bulimia can cause many different symptoms and problems with many organ systems in your body and only a doctor can help you get answers.

If you doc is not an expert on ED - as for a referral to someone who is an expert.

Good luck.

Well, undereating can cause severe constipation and gas build - up because your digestive system is forgetting how to function. The periods you have of purging are damaging your system, so STOP!

Or, the stomach acids from purging may've burned your organs, causing them to "malfunction", so to speak.

Get yourself to a doctor, PLEASE!
You're NOT healthy at all if you're purging.
