A member asked:
Is making yourself throw up still count as bulimia if its not about food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably bulimia: There could be some rarer alternative explanation that would be accurately psychotic in character or potentially an anxiety disorder related compulsion. If you felt that it was clearing your body of parasites that could be hypochondriasis or delusional parasitosis. If there was a spiritual cleansing or a preoccupation with cleaning of your digestive tract it could be obsessive compulsive.
