How long does bulimia take to harm your body?

Not long: Every time you vomit it erodes your teeth enamel . Both binging and purging throws you metabolism off. You are also likely sir pressing your thyroid function.There is no"safe" amount of time.

Varies: That depends on the frequency/severity. BN can cause electrolyte imbalances that may lead to heart failure, as well as esophageal and gastric ruptures, all of which may be fatal. Other medical complications for bulimia include bone loss, osteoporosis, dehydration, kidney disease, anemia and low white cell counts, which lowers the immune system and creates vulnerability to disease and infection.
