Curing Bulimic Disorders

Updated: 06/28/2008

"Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterised by recurrent binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors, referred to as "purging". The most common form—practised more than 75% of people with bulimia nervosa—is self-induced vomiting; fasting, the use of laxatives, enemas, diuretics, and overexercising are also common.

Bulimics go through cycles of over-eating and purging that can be very destructive to the body. These cycles often involve rapid and out-of-control eating, which may stop when the bulimic is interrupted by another person or the stomach hurts from overextension, followed by self-induced vomiting or other forms of purging. This cycle may be repeated several times a week or, in more serious cases, several times a day, and may directly cause: * Perimolysis, or the erosion of tooth enamel by gastric acids. * Oral trauma, where habitual insertion by fingers or other objects cause lacerations to the lining of the mouth and throat. * Chronic gastric reflux after eating. * Esophagitis, or irritation of the esophagus by frequent contact with gastric acids. * Dehydration and hypokalemia due to loss of fluids and potassium depletion. * Swollen salivary glands."

ALOE VERA AND OMEGA 3 OIL

1 YEA   

[YEA]  03/04/2007: Sophie from Canberra, Australia writes: "Hi I have had Bulimia for about 5 years but the side effects got so bad that I was forced to recover. Unfortunately,I feel I may have done some permanent damage to my stomach lining. I get bloated after eating pretty much anything and If I eat Garlic or other acidic food I feel really sick and after a few hours of severe pain will start vomiting. The remedy that has helped is drinking pure aloe vera juice and taking aloe vera supplements. This mainly relieved the stomach pains and bloating. My digestion has improved gradually. I found that essential fatty acids in oil form helped such as flax oil or fish oil, even olive oil. The ideal oil would be Udo's oil which is a combination of all these oils and more. Udo's oil is also anti inflammatory which was great. UIts usually in the fridge section in health food stores. There is alot of info about it on the net too."

THE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER LINK TO BULIMIA

1 YEA   

[YEA]  06/27/2008: Susan from Phoenix, AZ writes: "During the early 80's I had an eating disorder. It was not to the point where I would throw up however I could eat a dozen donuts and then go out for pizza. It was like there was no shut off. Then I would fast and run and work out to undo the damage. One Thanksgiving I ran 11 miles in the pouring rain after dinner then went back in and ate half a pie.

I attended a health fair and there was a speaker there-a PHD specializing in anorexia and bulemia. I told her what was going on and she asked how much diet soda I drank a day. It was considerable amount. I drank it instead of eating after a binge. She told me to not use sacharrin again and the problem would go away. It affected the appetite she said.

So I stopped using saccharine and the problem cleared right up."

06/28/2008: Robn from Rural, VA replies: "Susan, I had a nearly identical experience at just about the same time. There was no end to my apetite. I was also consuming other artificial sweeteners. My favorite at the time was nutrasweet. I did however recognize that it was making me depressed and zapping my energy. I never linked my eating disorder to the artificial sweeteners, but managed to get myself out of it by changing my diet, and using the artificial sweeteners did stop with that."

WATER AND FLAX SEED

1 YEA   

[YEA]  10/01/2007: Shannon from Glen Burnie, Maryland writes: "I was bulimic for ten years. I severly messed up my stomach and colon. I was taking mass amounts of laxatives and have been severly constipated. My solution is drinking 8-10 cups of water (works better than any prescribed laxative) and I eat flaxseed meal on my yogurt. I also have eliminated fats because it's the hardest thing to digest and i get violent muscle spasms after I eat it. I also eat no flour and sugar because I have a food addiction. I also have to excercise because it stimulates the colon and helps to relieve constipation. My only problem now is my chronic fatigue. I still am so weak some days- even after 2 1/2 years of not binging and purging and I don't know why I still so weak."
