Bulimia can have a lot to do with anything and everything, and is unique to each person, yet there are a lot of similarities. Studies do indicate that there are a lot of people who suffer from bulimia who have had sexual abuse, however there are bulimics out there who have not been sexually abused. Often eating disorders can revolve around control, fear, and self-loathing, which after sexual abuse can be triggered in a person. But trully, there is no 1 proven cause for bulimia, there are only theories and similarities between bulimics, but cases can be different for each person.
