You probably should: not be purging, it is not a natural way for the body to get rid of food or any substance. Also the process damages the esophagus and stomach, sometimes to an extent that can't be reversed. Please ask your doctor about healthier ways to keep your systems healthy and weight controlled. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
