I havent been diagnosed with bulimia, but I do intentionally induce vomiting. I like learning about this stuff because I like knowing what I'm doing to meself
It’s very bad for u
Intentionally induce vomiting is called bulimia
Please stop, you don't have to hurt yourself. 😔😢
Try not to do anything to yourself that you wouldn't want someone you love to do to themselves 🖤
Rip in advance
Thank you doctor for this video! I unfortunately had eating disorders since the age of 12 until 25 and mostly threw up 5-7 times a day age 16-23. I am 28 now and have all sorts of problems with food intolerances and allergies and IBS. I wish someone showed me this when I was younger. It would have helped me a lot with my battle.
I’m
Drunk and layed down and was dizzy so I neeeded this
I am thankful to all these comments..... recently being so busy with work and studies I started gaining weight as I love eating....I used to workout but as m busy I left and now I am 55kg it's actually fine but my tummy is bulging out with fats ......I thought of trying this stuff as seen in many movies skinny models do.....but thanks to these comments and vid. I am not
My friend really struggles with this what is the best way to help her?
I have Anorexia and Bullimia and I come across binge and purge sessions at least once a week.
I keep experiencing chest burns after purging and it usually lasts a few days afterwards. Sometimes I get out of the bathroom losing my balance and shaking and definitely always light headed. It’s difficult to breath even and I keep getting muscle cramps after exercising.
Any young people experimenting with this behavior please know that I hadn't seen a dentist in 10 years and a few months ago one shined a flashlight/torch at my teeth and you could see through them like they were dirty windows. Please don't even start if you're thinking about it! You will sh-t your pants in your adult life so often that it becomes routine - don't let that become reality & reach out to a medical professional
I was bulimic in the early to mid 2000s and it took getting pregnant to stop!(now I think I just did it for attention). If I feel like I’m going to throw up and nothing happens I will force it to make myself feel better... not too often tho at least!
Please don't say you did it for attention. You'll be invalidating so many people's shame and guilt from their struggles with food and body
@@sk8aintstr813 yah that’s very true! Maybe it was really knowing the baby needed the food too! It’s just weird how easy it was to stop which is why I think the other thing!
I don’t know that’s considered bulimic I use to do that all the time especially when something was gross to me I’d have to throw up 😭
thanks doc for this information.
Omg this is my therapy. He is my therapist.
Great video! Very Informative
Thanks Anne-Marie
I’m not bulimic but I’m worried I’ll develop an eating disorder. College is insane and the stress is overwhelming to the point of excessive binge eating (I kid you not been doing it at least once a day for the past week) and now I purposefully purged some of it before bed due to how my stomach was feeling. I’m honestly not sure what to do here with the stress
So what should we do? Just see the doctor? Any remedies without a doctor
I do it occasionally once in 3 or 4 months whenever I eat too much that I need , I do it just to feel easy.
I either starve (which I liked for some reason ) or binge eat a lot of food and feel super guilty afterwards thats why I would try to throw up ,or poop after eating ,I just cant get rid of the cycle of starving or binging , please help me what should I do ?but let me tell u one thing NOT ANY FOOD ITEM/DISH IS WORSE THEN AN EATING DISORDER
ikr!!! ı mean ı feel so fucked up. either I don't eat anything for hours or I eat the whole fricking FRIDGE. then ı feel so guilty and throw up.
im so glad im not the only one
If you still have that problem then, before binging try drinking a lot of water so youre full, and remember when you starve for long periods of time it can slow your metabolism, wich will later help gain weight faster❤
Do mindful eating. Enjoy every bite .And don’t starve yourself. Eat when you want.
I start doing this because when i eat i don't want to gain weight so i eat and vomit it all after because I don't want to get fat
And i lose 7 kg
I am also having same problem but I am getting nosebleed while vomiting
A while ago, i went on a severe diet and lost over 6 kilos in less than one and a half month.
In the beginning, it was oretty healthy. I ate a balanced diet and excercised.
Then i started noticing i feared food. I starved myself for hours and counted the bites of food i ate.
Now its come to a point where i self induce vomit if i feel like i eat a little extra... and now im not sure if its good.
I cant eat anymore...
It was similar for me also. I became bed bound a little over a month ago due to a bad flu for two weeks where I lost 7kg. Now, I don't enjoy food as much and am conscious of eating, immediately feeling nausea afterwards.
In that state, the key is portion control. Try not to eat a lot at once, just small amounts throughout the day and know your cut-off point 😊
i haven't been diagnosed so i cant really say I have it. But for about a month now ive4 been throwing up everytime I eat even if its just a cracker or something. I can tell my teeth are more yellow and my skin for some reason keeps breaking out.
Did you lose weight?
@@demz._xlife I’m not gonna answer this honestly. Please don’t do this to try and lose weight it makes you feel so awful and you really can damage many parts of your body. It isn’t worth it at that point. Not eating anything especially throwing it up after in the end you will only gain weight because once you do eat again normally your body isn’t gonna take it well and you will gain more.
I am going through bulimia and trying to recover when i look at my self i break into tears how to cure this ,this is killing me 😢
Thank you
I did this a while ago, because I couldnt vommit on its own, but ive started bleeding now, is this serious? should I see a Dr?
When I eat sour fruits, spices, flattered rice or travel in sun, sometimes I suffer from headache and I must have to do self induced vomitting to get relief from headache.
thanks doc
What happens when people eat non food items please? Like those with pica who eat wall plaster
Pica is an interesting condition. It’s been linked to obsession-compulsion disorder (OCD). In some cases it can be due to micronutrient deficiencies which then lead to cravings for particular substances. See link: www.gutdr.com/healthy-gut-understanding-food-cravings/
Pica’s name comes from the Latin name for the magpie - ‘pica pica’ because magpies like to pick up and eat random objects.
Now Anne-Marie there’s particular names given to different forms of pica. For example the term given to the eating of dust is called coniophagia, the eating of cigarette ashes is called stachtophagia whilst the eating of ice and snow is known as pagophagia.
What we’re referring to here - the eating of paper is known as xylophagia. In addition to paper xylophagia can also encompass the eating of wood and toothpicks. There’s not that much known about it because it is rare. However in 2014 a forensic medicine journal did publish an account of an autopsy by a person who died from the eating of wood. This result in quite significant damage to their gut as wood was found lodged in the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. There were also haemorrhages found throughout the body.
In general pica can lead to nutrient deficiencies because other foods aren’t eaten, it can lead to more susceptibility to parasites e.g. from eating dirt, it can lead to toxicity e.g. from eating lead paint and it can lead to gut problems. When it comes to gut problems one obvious one is the potential for blockages. People that eat hair regularly (a condition called tricophagia) for example can develop a big ball of hair (known as a bezoar) that’s often impacted somewhere in the gut and can lead to obstruction. Obstruction by foreign objects can lead to rupture of the gut (the medical term is perforation) and that can lead to sepsis and death. These foreign objects can even go the wrong way i.e. into the lungs resulting in aspiration pneumonia and death.
Hmm ... I should probably do a future video on pica if this is of interest to our viewers.
@Denis Ursu Hi Denis are you referring to pica?
@Denis Ursu Hi Denis have a look at my vomiting animation which goes through the mechanism of vomiting. This video on bulimia nervosa does go through some of the gastrointestinal complications of chronic vomiting, some of which can be quite serious.
@Denis Ursu Hi Denis not sure why it's not allowing comments - it's a RUclips issue and not from this channel. I've had a few other people raise the same problem so it's very frustrating to me :-(
@Denis Ursu If you mean by sticking a finger or two down the throat to induce vomiting then yes that is one way that can be done. This is done by eliciting the gag reflex (also known as the pharyngeal reflex) which sends signals to the brainstem - repeated behaviour in a very sensitised individual can certainly prompt retching and vomiting.
However it’s important to note that inducing vomiting can lead to some unpleasant outcomes. We talked about these in the bulimia video but just to recap dehydration, damage to the lining of the throat, mouth and oesophagus from acid contents, possible aspiration of vomit into the lungs are some of the potential problems.
I don’t have an eating disorder, but I have forced myself to vomit from time to time, usually more for reasons like skipping events or having an uncontested reason to leave work, is it harmful if done very rarely?
Is that stomach folding into the esophagus one common or just in extreme cases????
I am not bullimic or anything but i still feel the need to vomit after some meals, even if i don't feel full. Also, at 0:12 you talk about gag reflex yet i've never had to use it to forcefully vomit, quite odd
Can you say some easy solution too plz plz
Start working out it helped me
I've been throwing up for 2 weeks, but I Im forcing it cuz after I eat I feel stomach upset, is it wrong?
Yes
If I did it once is it ok doctor ?
Is vomiting from being overheated a thing? Because I think it is right?
Just trowded up earlier after breakfast is it serious?
1:57 subtitle messed up
He said *vomitus* not *vomiting*
I actually don’t care what it causes I just want to know if I can lose weight through it
Yea you’ll lose weight
I did too
But please take care of your body afterward like having lukewarm water with a pinch of ghee so as to coat the passage
I’m not saying you should do
I just answered the question thank you and tell me how it goes
In my personal experience my weight has gone up,
I’ve lost more weight by tracking my food and exercising
Same I really just want to lose the weight and worry later lol as bad as that sounds I don’t care either
I am recovered, but I suffered from severe bulimia in my youth.
I had very painful stomach ulcers and dysbiosis and other gut issues during and after the illness.
I assume that bulimia can directly cause these things?
I try to limit self induced vomiting
is it harmful if I only do it three or four times a week
plz let me know
Yes lol, that's still a lot
Is it OK to induce vomiting once a week? When someone eats too much
Idk but everyone will tell you it is NEVER ok but some people who do it don't have any problems but they get addicted to doing it
I only induce vomiting when my parents forces me to eat. I clearly want to diet for my health and my parents will always tell me to eat little and be healthier but when I do this, they suddenly force me to eat especially at dinner (which is the worst time bcuz you won't be using much energy at night)
So whenever they force me to eat, I'll just vomit and idc if they find out. I already have a good point to do so😒
@@krystlart sounds like Ed.
I love suffered since 13 so I’d be careful with that. I KNOW how you feel when you say that.. and how you say it … but seriously keep an eye on it
I do too when I eat too much and feel sick! Especially if I don’t puke naturally!
@@krystlart me too today is 3rd day lol
Great Video! Could you do any videos about what happens when you use laxative?
Thanks Mozart yes I am planning to do one and in fact will have one on constipation coming up soon as it's very commonly asked about issue
i think i might have Bulimia
I throw up sometimes trying to gain weight. If i throw up food do I lose 100 percent of the calories?
hi doc, does throwing up very early after eating will reduce the damage done ?
why would it reduce the damage? its probably easier since it didnt break down yet, but either way you make yourself vomit
@@tikandam "you make yourself vomit" so what ? I think this doc is a clown, he talks about acid being one of the main thing that induce damage to the body, but when you vomit early after eating, there is no acid at all. They talk about this subject without pointing out this fact which make me feel they just read a script taken from google.. All the first few pages in google say the exact same thing, it's copy paste. And then they go one and bring up the subject of bulimia ?! Why ? Because someone makes himself vomit from time to time then it necessarly means he will do it until he reaches 30 kg ?! That's retarded again, those clowns, those fake doctors take their info from google and they just repeat like parrots.
@@tikandam it's less acidic ig
I have been purging when i eat too much, today I vomited blood it started coming out of my nose aswell. I am scared! Please help.
I'm 2.months late at you ok
Mr.Gut Dr what is Bulimia Nervosa?
He literally explains in the video ffs
Thanks for the information but I'm not convinced, (never change a winning combination). This method has been used from generation to generation before the dark ages and "modern western civilization" we never had issues to this day.
Once my throat started bleeding I threw up blood
if you force yourself to throw up could you get red spots on your cheek? I got red spots on my cheek and I'm a bit concerned
yeah sounds like burst blood vessels. they generally go away on their own after a week to 10 days.
oh thank you 😁
why does it have to be this way. i dont want effects like this
Guess I’m not skipping school now
i just started the habit of throwing up after eating and i want to know what will happen to me before in get addicted
I just started to throw- again but I did twi times today
Say question this won't happen to you if you only done it once right?
No it won't.
But say a person does it 5-8 Time a day for 3yrs of their lives it can be very harmful and it will lead to this.
But if a person does it once in a blue moon, like say Miss B has been on a certain diet for 30days and plans to cheat on the 31st day, she goes ahead with the cheating but start to feel guilty about it and decides to self induce vomit, the very next day she continues with her diet.
There are chances that she wouldn't suffer this.
But if she makes purging a habit then they are chances of her suffering from this problems
@@zikorhamonroe3340 thank u so much for this reply..I always vomit when my parents force me to eat but now I'm trying my best not to do it too often (which is impossible)
All of which will heal on its own eventually
hopefully
Yeah just push your colon back in amiright
Ok i'm gonna stop
I threw up earlier
waaaahhhh
I’m pretty sure I got this from the jab and when I got covid I have had a bad stomach for months they put me on so meds but has not help but the doc did say I do have long covid 4 months now 😂😂
