My friend has bulimia ?!


Question: My friend has bulimia .?
My best friend in the world since grade 5 recently told me that she has bulimia, i dont need everyone saying that she should get help because i know that and so does she, but today she told me that the last time she "purged" there was blood. She says it was hardly any at all but there still was some.She also swallowed a full bottle of ibprofene(i spelled that wrong) last week...could she have like something seriously wrong now .? Besides her eating disorder ..Health Question & Answer


Answers:
The bulima itself is not good and can cause problems of several types.
The full bottle of ibuprofen is most dangerous right now...
read the label carefully:

"stomach bleeding warning" .. "may cause stomach bleeding"
"use the smallest effective dose" The smallest bottle (except for a trial size) is 100 tablets. This could be very serious and is probably the immediate source of the blood
BUT we all know she needs medical attention; it would be foolish not to do that and you seem like a very smart person. I wish your friend the best of luck. Contact a parent asap.Health Question & Answer

yes she could. It's possible that her throat is cut from throwing up or that something is wrong with her stomach. Throwing up is serious and can do many harmful things to your body like rot your teeth to tear your stomach. I think she should see a Dr. then seek help for this disease. Best of luck to you and your friend. Health Question & Answer
