Help please! is chewing and spitting a form of purging?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chew and spit: Yes. Chewing and spitting is the form of purging. Almost all eating disorders start with some form of restrictions intake. By chewing and spitting, calorie restriction occurd. Most importantly, ultimately protein intake is restricted, which ultimately causes much of the damage that occurs in eating disorders. Eating disorder usually ends up controlling you, rather than you controlling it.
