Likely so: When you eat a lot you also have to expel a lot of feces from your G.I. Tract. Many people with bulimia experience constipation. As you bear down to evacuate you bowel , you can force hemorrhoids to pop out. It is basically simple mechanics.

Possibly: If you have diarrhea from laxative abuse , or you strain with bowel movements you can get hemorrhoids.
