Free Yourself from Bulimia

Bulimia, or Bulimia Nervosa, is an abnormal eating condition characterized by binge-eating followed by self-induced vomiting or purging. It is abnormal in the sense that bulimic food intake is greater than the average then as a result of guilt feelings or wanting to get rid of the negative effects of overeating induces vomiting. This makes bulimia a psychological condition that should be treated with sufficient eating disorder information for a complete recovery.

It can complicate more into health-related problems. Bulimia can develop oral problems like tooth weakening and decay, gum problems, bad breath, and teeth discoloration due to gastric acid exposure out of self-induced vomiting. A sore throat would also be inevitable. A person suffering from bulimia would also experience dehydration, severe weakness, and fainting. A serious case of rupture in any of the digestive organs should also not be ignored.

So check yourself and act before it’s too late. There is always an option to overcome bulimia. Its severity can be controlled in strict professional means. Bulimia recovery programs should be packed with intensive psychotherapy or counseling combined with attentive medical and nutritional supplementation to ensure lifelong effectiveness. The counseling part would enable bulimic to cope with the emotional distress of eating disorder and its complications, while the medical part would improve full body system recovery out of its physical damage.
