I've been bulimic from about 17!. I've tried so hard to quit, but just can't seem to get there!. My teeth are quite litterally falling out of my mouth at this point!. My question is "Is is better to brush your teeth imediately after purging, or to wait!. Should I just be using mouthwash after!?"Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
k firstly I've been bulimic for more years than I care to remember so I won;t give you the usual just stop cause it's bad for your health ,I can however offer some practical advice, after you purge rinse your mouth out with one or two teaspoons of baking soda in a small glass of water as this will help neutralise any remnant stomach acid, don't brush your teeth for 4-5 hours after purging even if you have done the baking soda thing becuase you risk etching / making holes in the veneer of your teeth moreso than you obviously already do with purging!. as for mouth wash, I spose something is better than nothing to get the acid out of your mouth if you don;t have baking soda but other than that I don;t really know!. I hope this helps, minimise the effect that your mia is having on youWww@Answer-Health@Com
You need to join Overeatters Anonymous or see a eatting disorder specialist to fix the bulimia!. You can stop it!. It will be hard but you can do it!.
I recovered with OA and eatting disorder therapist and yoga!. It took about 2-3 years to get almost 100% better!. I did better and better the more I got help and tried not to vomit!.
I would never go back to that vomit induced haze!. low blood sugar high!. high blood sugar high!. exhaustion!. disgust in self!. addition to vomiting!. fake pretend break from reality!.
addiction to scale!. comparison to others addition!. Not for all the ice cream in the world!. Which after a while you can't eat because your teeth are too sensitive from the pain!.
You can go to a recovery place too!.

Tell everyone you have it so you will be embarressed and stop it!.
You are as sick as your secrets!.

Use mouthwash straight after and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing, because the acid from your stomach weakens the enamel and if you brush straight away you will actually do more damage to the teeth!.
