My body purges on it’s own, sort of bulimic question?
Question : My body purges on it’s own, sort of bulimic question?
Okay so this has been going on for awhile and I have always been confused. Especially as I am checking into a bulimic treatment program soon and as I was exploring the website for it and the characteristics of bulimia, I could never find anything quite like this.
So I’ve never actually stuck anything down my throat, my body just sort of throws the food up on its own. It doesn’t throw up everything. When I drink liquids, especially diet pop it throws it up a lot more often. Also it does the same thing with dairy products like ice cream and cottage cheese. Another thing is that I tend to eat my food more quickly.
I’m just wondering why my body does this on its own when I have never actually “self inflicted” it. Also, when this happens it is very rarely, if ever, stomach acid that comes up. It’s just the chewed up food. Has any one ever experienced this or have an idea what it is?
Another thing is that I do tend to eat a lot because I can’t keep much down and I am hungry. I wouldn’t say I binge eat, but I do eat more then some people so that I don’t feel starving.

I wonder if you have a gastritious problem? The foods you’ve mentioned contain gas causing ingredients. As does eating fast. Just my take. Good luck.

Do you eat food quickly and a lot? Sounds like the problem is that you’re eating too fast and too much, so you can vomit if you eat too much, especially dairy products and diet coke can cause it too. You just got to breathe a bit and chew a long time. Just count and don’t do other things, and when you drink diet coke or whatever, just don’t do it to swallow food. Like swallow, then drink a sip, then repeat.
In any case, I do hope you get help soon for it! It’s a terrible feeling, I know, and hopefully someday you can eat food happily and comfortably.
Edit: I also hope you know what bulimic is before you check in the clinic. lol. Reading it again, it sounds like you’re just checking yourself in because you *think* you have it. It has nothing to do with purging. Bulimic people tend to eat massive amount of food in a short period of time, and they rarely have control over it. It’s very different from just eating too fast. For example, a normal person would say man I’m starving, and eat a burger. To a person suffering bulimic eating, they would get scared of being hungry, and just order a whole large pizza, a burger, a 1 liter bottle of coke, donuts, cake, chicken wings, etc and just shove it all down until they can’t eat and still eat.

Maybe it has something to with how you eat your food like you said. I think you should be seeing your doctor before you check into a bulimic treatment program because that doesn’t apply to you. People with bulimia are most times obsessed with their weight and they consciously make the decision to purge themself (which you already know if you researched it). Something might be off with your stomach so make an appointment with your doctor and until then, make a note of other symptoms, even ones you think nothing of. Best of luck.

Well obviously your body is telling you that something you are putting into it is not agreeing with it. If this has been going on for some time, you should have sought the advice of a gastrointerologist. You could have a variety of problems from something as simple as lactose intolerance to a serious problem with your stomach or esophagus. As for the diet soda, you could also have some kind of allergy to the sugar substitute. Again, this is all something that a doctor can help you solve. A bulimia treatment clinic isn’t going to help because they will deal with the psychological issues of your body dysmorphia, if you have such a thing. Hopefully, they will be intelligent enough there to refer you to a doctor.

I have the same problems. You need to go to a gastro Dr. I have very bad acid reflux. Plus you could have another problem that stops your food from going down. They have meds that will help you. I have been feeling better for about 3 weeks. restaurants still frak me out because I’m scared it will pop up, but I’m getting better. Try a stomach Dr. Good Luck!

i used to look after some poeple who had dysphagia, just a thought like.
but the people i looked after couldnt help but rush their food, and frequently vomited after eating. do you experiance increased saliva production? or the feeling of food being stuck in the throat?
