Unlike anorexia or other eating disorders, problematic warning signs relating to bulimia are often harder to identify. This is due to the fact that those suffering from bulimia nervosa often tend to hide their bingeing and purging behaviors.
Due to society’s perception and stigma around what a person with an eating disorder looks like, individuals who struggle with bulimia often go unnoticed by even those who are closest to them because they appear to have a “normal” body size.
A few of the numerous health consequences that may come with bulimia include:
- A sore throat that is chronically inflamed
- Teeth beginning to decay from exposure to stomach acids after their enamel wears off
- Gastroesophageal reflux disorder, caused by constant vomiting
- Intestinal issues caused by irritation from laxative abuse
- A puffy face and cheeks
- Severe dehydration from the purging of fluids
- Salivary glands below the jaw and in the neck become swollen
- Kidney problems caused by the use of diuretics, or water pills
