I've bulimia and i'm trying to stop purging, but my stomach really hurts unless i purge! why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Binging on food?: Both binging on food and purging by vomiting are part of bulimia -- and the whole process is an illness requiring treatment. Trying to do this on your own is not likely to be successful. I've seen many people who tried to contain this for years before coming to treatment. You need a treatment team that includes primary care doctor, psychiatrist, nutritionist, and therapist. Please get help now!
