A member asked:
Can you tell me how could people die from bulimia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bulimia deaths: One of the main ways people can die from bulimia is through electrolyte imbalance, which can cause heart arrhythmias. The risks increase if laxatives and diuretics are abused as well. There can also be internal hemorrhage from stomach and esophageal injury or rupture. Help is available, though. http://tinyurl.com/34sc4p.
