What are the correlations between acid reflux and a history of bulimia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food intolerance: Reflux is commonly caused when you eat food that you have trouble digesting. This is often due inherited enzyme deficiencies. If there are foods you do not digest well you may have abnormal proteins in you system as a result of the maldigestion. This can lead to cravings, and bingeing and bulimic behavior.
