Is this part of a disorder?

[pyromantick]

I've been having stomach problems for a year now. I feel nauseous quite often, and when I do I make myself sick to try and get rid of the feeling. Does this count as part of an eating disorder? I know I have one, I abuse laxatives and purge after meals and count calories, but I was just wondering if purging when nauseous was part of it.

What you have definitely sounds like a sort of eating disorder. In fact, it might be the eating disorder that causes the neauseosness, so most likely it is all tied together.

Making yourself sick to try to get rid of the feeling of nausea may not be part of an eating disorder per se, but it is still not exactly a healthy thing to do, so my advice would be to take steps towards getting rid of your eating disorder in the first place, as that might in turn help your other problems.

If you are really concerned, you should go and see a doctor as well.

Yeah, is

Any form of purging is bad (note: not eating and/or over-exersizing for periods after eating/binging also counts).

A lot of tiems, an ED will make you feel really naucious because your stomach acid is trying to digest something, but there isn't any food to digest.


I think you being bulimic is making it a LOT worse than it is for some people. Your stomach isn't supposed to be getting rid of the food that quick

The fact that your Bulimic is probably the reasons why your having these pains and being nausious.

Its because your stomach acids need to digest something but theres nothing there.

It seems like its not part of the disorder, but more of the only way you know how to stop the pains.

Try not to purge when you feel nausious because obviously it is unhealthy and, when theres no substance in your stomach to purge, you purge your stomach lining and acids.
