My sister.. anorexic or bulimic? What can i do?

well if she's throwing up she may be bullimac but either way you should inform your parents and seek her help because this is a serious illness that can lead to serious health problems and even death

If she us making herself vomit and/or takes lots of laxatives she would probably be Bulimic. Anorexia is when you starve yourself and just will not eat. But if she is bingeing and purging, she would be bulimic. Chances are she would be both. Usually they will do both and go from one extreme to the other..

If you think she is, please try and help her by talking to her. Let her know you can and remind her of how serious this is.. She could do so much damage to her body It could ruin her for life. It can cause her teeth to rot and lieterally fall our. Not to mention it could even prevent her from having children. Let her know you want to help her.

But, if she is in denial or refuses to discuss this with you or let you help her, then you need to find out if your parents are aware of what is going on. They need to know, even if it means your sister getting upset with you. This may be the only was you can get her help is by talking to your parents and telling them your concerns. This can be and is a very serious illness. It is nothing to take lightly. If she does this frequently, let her know that she cannot be having have stomach problems every day unless something is wrong.

If she still denies the problem and continue to have the "upset stomach" frequently she would need to see a doctor. In either case there is obviously something wrong with her.

If you see her eating normally but then find vomit remains around the toilet then she is more than likely bulimic. If you don't see her eating anything at all the she might be anorexic. Give it time though, don't rush in and accuse her of having an eating disorder until you're sure (but then again, don't wait too long)

She's prolly bulimic so what I would do is research on the internet for some pictures of people who are bulimic. Throwing up can really mess up your teeth due to the acid so get pictures of messed up teeth and show it to her. When you show it to her tell her you are worried because this could become her.

Also what you could do is try and exercise with her, even if you don't need it you could do it to stay in shape. That way she has someone to exercise healthy with and you can be there to make sure she doesn't overdo it.

She's bulimic. You should tell other family members and ry to support her. Try to tell her that she could jeopardize her schooling and even kill herself if she doesn't stop that the path she's on.

She's a premed student, she should know that throwing up can rot out her teeth because of the stomach acid and if she ever wanted to stop she might not be able to because her body will become so accustomed to throwing up after every meal it always becomes like a reflex.

If she doesn't stop seek professional help.

Tell your parents that your worried about her, it sounds like she's bulimic, but there is absolutley NOTHING anyone can do about it until she realises there is a problem.

If you talk to her (no matter how much your trying to help) she'll just get defensive and push you away.

Let her know that your there for her, tell her you love her, and wait until she realises that there is something wrong. Then do everything you can to help her.

It might help if you did a bit of reading up on this, to help you understand a bit of how she's feeling... try beat.co.uk, or just google bulimia.

It's possible she's both. Most anorexics are bulimic as well. Talk to her about it first. Not in an accussatory type of way. Dont' go up to her and say, "I know you have an eating disorder." Kind of lead up to it. Ask her things like, "How do you feel about your body? Ask her what she thinks about eating disorders." Let her know what you think of them. And then if she offers more info and opens up, ask her. And if she admits it, ask her to seek prof. help.

If she's bulimic then she's still eating. Watch her after she's ate and see if she goes to the bathroom right away. Try taking her out to eat and insisting that it's "your treat" and pay for her. Keep an eye on her for a while after she eats.

She is bulimic because she throws up.

You have to see the causes not the effects.

Try to do things that elevate her self esteam, like saying she is very pritty or doing with her things she like ( going to see a movie, doing some crafts,etc) or just talking to her without condemning her.

if she cant stop anyway try at least to make her ear healthy things without glutamate or aspartame because they increase her apetite.

Tell her i lost more then 30 pounds without that.

sounds like shes bulimic and needs help. tell your parents about your conserns for her. if this is left unnoticed she can get very sick and end up in the hospital. she probably feels this is the only way she can feel good about her self since she would get made fun of. just tell your parents and they will handle it the best they can.

She could be bulimic. Just be there for her. Talk to your parents. She needs all the help she can get.
