A member asked:
Is it possible to yourself throw up without being bulimic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why throw up?: If the purpose of throwing up is to rid yourself of food that is not digesting and is nauseating you, then some people are able to make themselves throw up. If you make yourself throw up for any other reason, (get rid of calories, reduce bad feelings) by definition you are "purging". If it becomes a habit (i.e. Purging weekly) then you are bulimic.
