      I had bulimia in the past, for 4 years from 17 years old to 21. I stopped on my own with my boyfriend’s help and have been bulimia-free for 3 years. I was just wondering, what are the possible consequences of having it for a while o I can make sure I’m all right?

      Hi. The medical consequences of your years of bulimia is something that needs to be discussed with your primary physician. It’s really important that you bring it up during your next physical, and if you haven’t had a physical in years – it’s probably a good idea for you to go for one. There can be some physical consequences, but not ones that outweigh the fact that you beat it at such a young age. Congratulations, by the way. There are people that battle the disorder much longer and sometimes never stop.

      Imagine your stomach acids rolling back and forth your esophagus – of course, it’ll cause you a lot of health problems. If you have bulimia, please do see your physician ASAP. It will be definitely worth it. After beating the source, everything else is easy! You can just go to your dentist and whiten those stained chompers, and drink your meds to normalize your entire digestive system.

      I agree with Jerri. Plan a well visit to your dentist and primary physician. Let them know about your past issues and let them do a routine exam just to check things out.
