Bulimia Symptoms and Health Problems
When you talk about eating disorders like we did yesterday, we often talk about anorexia, but one eating disorder that can get ignored is bulimia. Bulimia actually is a situation where a person will actually purge themselves. They’ll cause themselves to vomit in an attempt to lose weight to get rid of the food they eat. It is very common in college campuses. Many teenage girls and college age girls are bulimics and it can cause issues. It can affect teeth, growth, and obviously nutritional and psychological well-being.
