Doesn't throwing up your food make you bloated?

It probably won’t make you bloated but not having enough vitamins and nutrition means that you will lose muscle in your stomach which, in tern, let it hang out.

Why cant I win this argument? I need some additional info to tell her so she will stop please help!

I dont think this is an argument you are going to win logically… she sounds like she is either on her way to or already has an eating disorder… I suggest you ask her to get help…

yep. She has a sickness and needs professional help.

It also causes gas to build up in your intestines. Your body was expecting food to be there and had everything it needed to digest it–but then it didn’t show up.

I’m recovering bulimia myself. 5 years. Still not really over it. But even when I was in my worst episode, I knew I would be bloated the next day. And I still threw up. Because I asked myself, “well I can LOOK fat tomorrow while I’m bloated or I can actually BE fatter long after that if I keep the food in me.”

I’ve had $6,000 worth of root canals, too. And I’m only 21.

The only thing you can do to help is encourage her to talk to someone professional. They can figure out what’s causing the disorder and try to fix it. Remember, by making her stop throwing up, you’re just curing the symptom. She’s still going to be sick . . . and in mental anguish.

Self-induced vomiting can lead to swelling of salivary glands, electrolyte and mineral disturbances, and enamel erosion in teeth - possible organ damage.

Thank you guys!!

yes. also, it rotts your teeth, makes your hair fragile and easily breakable, makes your skin pale and dry (also causing early wrinkles) and plus, it messes up psychologically. she needs help. if you care, get her help no matter how mad she gets.
