Is it still called bulimia if you don't end up vomiting

10 Comments

So the premise is the same, the sticking fingers down throat but the outcome (which is vomiting) doesnt happen and its just a hard cough, so could it still be classified as Bulimia?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Sounds like you are pretty sick and need to get some help. You are probably so starved for nutrients your body refuses to regurgitate food.

    Why do you ask? Have you worn out your gag reflex?

    Just anorexia posing as bulimia. Please seek professional help, those disorders are very serious and can be life threatening.

    Im sure it is, if your intention is to vomit to purge yourself of the food you ate. Or perhaps we have developed a new disorder, Attempted Bulimia. Similar to attempted murder, atempted robbery etc.

      The thing is that i dont actually want to vomit, i just want the gagging phase as that releases the mucus i have stuck in my throat and its a very effective way to do it

        So you're not doing it after binge eating, in an attempt to purge yourself of food, to prevent weight gain/aide weight loss?

          its like when you have a cough and all that mucus comes out of it but doing this makes all of it come out and feels way better as i have a bigger build up then most

            Then that's not remotely close to bulimia.

            Bulimia nervosa is a psychological eating disorder.

            If you have that serious a mucous problem, see a doctor. Don't ask if it's bulimia. I suggest you look up what that actually is.
