Dear Tanta123,
Being bulimic for 18 years can only be taking a toll on all your major organs, as well as cause damage to your esophagus and teeth. I say this not to freak you out, but to be truthful and support you in letting go of the bulimia completely. Medical complications are very real with bulimics.
For peace of mind, you could request an endoscopy from your treating physician. For greater peace of mind, let go of the bulimia all together.
For more information on bulimia and treatment options, visit the bella vita website.
Best,

Hello. I have been bulimic/anorexic for 6 years(am 18) I didn't worry about any of the effects that bulimia would have on me either, like eosophegus cancer or rupturing my esophegus. However i Dec. I did find blood in my vommit, and it really scared me. I never went to a doctor, to find out why that happened, but know every time i go to get sick, i pray it doesn't happen again. It's good that you've cut down so much.If you want to stop completly, have you ever considered a day program?
