A member asked:
How do people who suffer from bulemia make themselves throw up? is it always the finger in the throat method?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Although triggering a gag reflex to induce vomiting is a common way to purge, often a person with bulimia can vomit merely by thinking about it, especially after their body has been.
