A member asked:

How can i throw up my food to become bulimic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You should not: Vomiting food can result in many problems - among them malnutrition, tooth enamel loss (and eventually tooth loss), burning of the esophagus, etc. You should try to work with your PCP or perhaps a professional in behavioral health to figure out healthier ways to meet your weight goals.
