A member asked:

The side effects of being a bilimic are what kinds of things?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bulimia is harmful: Bulimia nervosa ("bulimia") is an eating disorder involving binge eating followed by inappropriate compensatory behavior (such as self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, fasting, or excessive exercise, etc.). Many physical conditions result from the purging aspect of the illness: e.g., electrolyte imbalances, gastrointestinal problems, and oral and tooth-related problems.
