Need docs help! i am recovering from bulimia and i haven't pooped in 5 days, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bulimia: If you are vomiting all your stomach contents, there may be no "poop" on the other end. Also if you have been abusing laxatives and suddenly stopped, you could be constipated. You've supplied no information about any treatment you're receiving, so i don't know where you are in this. The best advice i can share is to please see your family physician ; get started with professional help on this.
