Bulimia causes : chronic or recurrent sore throat because of erosion of mucous membranes by recurrent exposure to stomach acid. Abdominal pain & bloating are also common. Therefore, the underlying potentially life-threatening disease requires appropriate medical & mental health treatment. Contact www.thebutterflyfoundation.org.au/ & cedd.org.au for access to expert services for long-standing, recurrent bulimia.
