How does Prozac work on bulimia?
In some rare instances it can be of use, however in many cases Prozac is no longer prescribed to teens as SSRI antidepressants have been proved to be highly risk laden when used with teens. In the United Kingdom it has been banned for use with children. There are many instances where the introduction of an antidepressant can make Bulimia worse, as it can increase anxiety.
How do you easily make yourself throw up?
This is not a good practice. Although someone could give ways to make yourself throw up, it is a very unhealthy practice that deteriorates your health. If weight loss is needed, healthy eating and exercise is the way to achieve it.
If you think you need to vomit for medical reasons, call a doctor or pharmacist, or go to the local emergency room. The American Medical Association no longer advocates inducing vomiting as a remedy for poisoning.
Vomiting is the body's way of expelling dangerous material from the digestive tract. Sometimes, this can be a lifesaver. Prolonged vomit can of course cause some problems. Dehydration is top of this list, but the corrosive acids into the stomach can hurt the esophagus and even damage the teeth. After a long time, malnutrition can even come into play. So, while your body may be doing you a favor by vomiting once in a while, if this happens a lot, it can become part of the problem.
Can not eating cause you to throw up?
Actually yes, you can I have the same problem. Especially if I hadn't had breakfast and have to rush to school on an empty stomach. The motion of my car and the fact that I hadn't eaten makes me VERY nauseous and make me throw up. Even if I'm not in a car and stay stationary and i haven't eaten in a long time I'll throw up. It sucks I know :(
Similarities between anorexics and bulimics?
Both anorexics and bulimics suffer from very dangerous, and potenetially deadly, easting disorders. In each case, the individual has a problem with food and how to deal / cope with food. Often, this stems from a problem with self-esteem, depression, and / or feelings they may have. Usually, both anorexics and bulimics will lose weight. Their bodies are also put in danger. Eating disorders can weaken the heart, liver, and kidneys to a dangerous level where they can experience organ failure. Muscles will begin to deteriorate, too.
Did Josh Peck Die Of Anorexia?
Actually that's inaccurate. Josh Peck is not dead and recently did two movies. Drillbit Taylor (2008) in which he played a high school bully named Ronnie (stars Owen Wilson, got sad ratings though), and The Wackness (2008), with Method Man and Sir Ben Kingsley. He also does a voice for a TV show. . . Whatever happened to Robot Jones or Robert Jones or something like that. lol I can never remember.
JOSH PECK IS ALIVE! People need to stop making up stupid rumors. No, he didn't die of bulimia or anorexia. He introduced Kid Rock on the 2008 VMA's last month. Josh is in Merry Christmas Drake & Josh recently.
ANSWER: OK I didn't believe this before but now I think he could actually be dead because a close friend of mine who says he used to work for the government told me that the real Josh Peck never lost weight and died due to health issues. Nickelodian didn't want to make a big deal and make Josh fans really depressed so they hired a man named Dylan Westler to pretend to be Josh Peck (he really looks like him!). I mean think about it. Do you really think he could have lost all that weight so fast? And if you look at before and after pictures of him when he was younger and of "him" from today, yes they are similar, but you can actually tell that it's a different person. Eerie... And sad :(
Why do you get swollen fingers?
From bulimia, you can get swollen fingers from scraping them (bruising and swelling) when you put them down your throat. Otherwise, poor blood circulation or other medical conditions can cause your fingers to swell.

Can you have bulimia without trying or forcing yourself to vomit?
I believe so. Suffering from bulimia, as far as I understand, equals binging (eating more than what is considered normal in a short amount of time) and afterwards trying to one way or another purge what has been eaten.
Purging can mean throwing up, but could also mean other methods of ridding the body of food.
Exercising excessively to get rid of the calories consumed or abusing laxatives are a few other methods of purging which a bulimic might use instead of puking.

What are the pros and cons of junk food in school?
Some schools do have a snack bar, but schools should not serve junk food. Students need to be provide a healthy school lunch so they can be able to concentrate in school. Too much sugar and salt would affect their brain.
Give being vegan a try. It's much healthier and SAFER than bulimia. It also has amazing health benefits and keeps your system nice n tidy (unless, of course you're a junk food vegan). Quite simply, if you eat healthy and in moderation you won't even need to work out. Most countries don't do gyms the way we do and they don't need to simply because they eat healthy! Bulimia, honestly, is a terrible way to be thin... because at the end of the day you can be rail thin, but its not pretty when you have no teeth or hair.
When you throw up do you throw up only the content of what in your stomach?
Usually it is only what is in the stomach (food, liquid, gastric juice / stomach acid, ect.). If there is enough force - and this is VERY dangerous - sometimes a person might throw up blood.
At first, she binged on five bags of potato chips, after which she purged by vomiting it all into the toilet.
Are there fund raisers for anorexia or bulimia?
Is this a serious question? could you imagine a fund raiser for people who are so self important that they feel the need to vomit up a nice meal to look pretty? how could anyone feel sorry for a person like that? I attempted to answer your question with three of my own :)
I'm sorry, but WikiAnswers is meant to be a place where questions are answered that are there to help or educate or assist a person. Suggesting a website that encourages anorexia (a potentially fatal and life-endangering disease) would not be helping, but would be promoting this dangerous life style.
