What else can I help you with?
What is an eating disorder in which a person repeatedly eats large amounts of food and then purges?
It can be bulimia, or just binge eating then purging... so it may be either.
Which term describes an eating disorder that is characterized by binge eating?
It seems as though you are referring to bulimia. However, bulimia is characterized by binge eating followed by purging (throwing up). Binge eating alone would probably just be considered food addiction.
What is the word for someone vomiting what they just swallow the food and chew it again?
Purging is when you vomit what you just ate. This is a sign of an eating disorder called Bulimia. When you re-eat what you have just thrown up (which is disgusting and un-santitary, that is called regurgitation.)
How do you become builimic?
You cannot "become" bulimic because bulimia is an eating disorder that is more mental than physical. For a lot of young people who struggle with this illness, everything starts with them just wanting to be in control of something, because they can't be in control of anything else. It gives them pleasure that they are able to maintain a certain weight or reach a goal. That being said, please do not make yourself throw up just because you want to be labelled with an eating disorder. It may be cool to be skinny but it is not cool to be mentally sick. I genuinely hope you take the right path in life and please don't strive to have a disease.

Binge eating disorder in the DSM?
A bineg eating disorder is where a person continually "binge" eats. This means that they eat excessive, large amounts of food in a relatively short period of time. This food is usually not very healthy. As a result, there can be weight problems, health problems related to obesity, the likelyhood of developing bulimia (to purge after such bingeing), and depression.
What is the chemistry behind bulimia?
As far as I know, this is inconclusive, but scientists and doctors are doing tests and have so far come up with interesting results. There is evidence in studies of twins that anorexia has a genetic component, and likewise that bulimics inherit a PREDISPOSITION to develop the disease, maybe from a family of addicts (the tendency to which is actually genetic). There is a new disorder which has recently been discovered called "purging disorder" in which women (mostly) purge without bingeing. This raises the question of there being some kind of chemical "need" behind the act of purging itself, which does induce a kind of "high" because of the release of endorphins that occurs when the body induces vomiting. There's more than just chemistry behind bulimia... it's a psychological, emotional, and social disorder, as well as having a certain "chemistry" to it. But there are a few highly suspect neurotransmitters and chemicals in the body that could contribute to the disease. One of these is dopamine, which has been found to have less receptor sites in bulimics than in ordinary people. and interestingly is the chemical that anorexics produce too much of and starve (more and more as the body adjusts) to decrease. There's also a chemical called CCK (I think that stands for cholesosystiknin) which is responsible for the feeling of satiety, which bulimics have been found to have lower levels of in some cases, thus explaining the lack of feeling full and desire to keep eating. The jury is out on that one though. Bulimia is a progressive disease, and the longer a person has suffered, the more likely it is that their body chemisty is indeed out of whack. Sufferers soon become trapped in a vicious cycle of restricting, bingeing and purging because the body's natural cues and signals are, in a word, focked. Take it from one who knows.
What the difference between anorexia and belmia?
Anorexia Nervosa is just restricting calorie intake to a crazy amount until you lose so much body weight. Bulimia Nervosa is eating like a madman, then throwing it all up. Also known as binging and purging.
Am I turning into an anorexic if you feel ashamed every time I eat and I want to get rid of the food I just ate any way I can?
Maybe. Purging after meals is characteristic of Bulimia, which is different, but no healthier, than Anorexia. Anorexia is characterized by the patient not eating very much to begin with.
When a person is bulimic how often do they throw up and do they ever eat and not throw up?
Not all bulimics throw up. Bulimia is binging & purging. Purging can be throwing up, but it can be also through laxatives, over exercising, or fasting. A bulimic has to be a binge eater, a binge is eating a ton of food in a short amount of time. Such as 3,000 calories in a half hour. The bulimic has no control over this. Bulimia is not just throwing up!!
