Answer 2

when someone is bulimic they usually maintain the same weight. they have a fear of gaining weight, like anorexics, but feel that food controls them, sort of thing. they have a tendancy to binge eat, and then purge, (either by throwing up, taking laxatives, excessive exercise) they may disappear after they have eaten to get rid of the calories they have just consumed, they sometimes get a distorted body image, their teeth can rot due to the acid from vomit, they become dehydrated, dizzy, inflammation of the oesophogus. etc.

Answer 3

They will excuse themselves to go to the bathroom shortly after eating to purge themselves. They will drink a lot of liquids because that will help the food to come up easier. They will eat a lot of food, go to the bathroom, come back and eat a lot of food, go to the bathroom, come back eat more food.

Medically, signs of hypokalemia (low potassium) can point to bulimia, especially when there are also accompanying physical signs, such as erosive lesions of the mouth and esophagus (due to stomach acid repeatedly being regurgitated). Also, ersosion of dental enamel is yet another sign.
