If you are asking what it means when someone eats and then makes them self throw up; it means they have an eating disorder called bulimia.
Some people with bulimia binge eat very large amounts of unhealthy food, then they purge to prevent weight gain by self-induced vomiting. Some use fasting and excessive exercise; then when they must eat to cover up their disorder they will vomit or misuse laxatives.
Purging type bulimics self-induce vomiting to rapidly remove food from the body before it can be digested, or use laxatives, diuretics, or enemas.
Non-purging type bulimics (approximately 6%-8% of cases) exercise or fast excessively after a binge to offset the caloric intake after eating. Purging-type bulimics may also exercise or fast, but as a secondary form of weight control.
Bulimia nervosa can be difficult to detect, compared to anorexia nervosa, because bulimics tend to be of average or slightly above or below average weight. Many bulimics may also engage in significantly disordered eating and exercising patterns without meeting the full diagnostic criteria for bulimia nervosa. It usually starts between 12 and 20 years of age.
Bulimics often suffer from depression or general anxiety disorder. People with binge eating disorder are usually very upset by their binge eating and may become more depressed. Research has shown that people with binge eating disorder report more health problems, stress, trouble sleeping, and suicidal thoughts than people without an eating disorder. People with binge eating disorder often feel badly about themselves and may miss work, school, or social activities to binge eat.
Purging causes severe dental disease when the acids from vomiting constantly, eats the enamel off their teeth. Another severe problem is electrolyte imbalance when someone stops eating or overuses enemas and diuretics may lead to low levels of sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
If you want to help someone with bulimia, you can monitoring the person's behavior and help them eat a healthy diet in a healthy manner. Offer encouragement to help them stay in treatment. People with bulimia who are treated early have a better chance of recovering than those who have the disease for years before treatment begins.
