A member asked:
To be bulimic are you required to technically throw up or does it count with no purge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No purge counts: You can be bulimic without throwing up if you binge and then restrict food intake or exercise excessively. Either way, it sounds like you are struggling with food and could use some help. Talk to your doctor or find a therapist who works with eating disorders to help you figure out how to stop.
