Bulimia Symptoms
-
Breath
-
Since bulimia involves forcing the body to vomit bulimia, may cause foul-smelling breath. The vomit may also cause damage to the teeth and gums.
Fatigue
-
Throwing up meals results in fewer calories being absorbed into the body. Since the body relies on calories from food for energy, bulimia can lead to fatigue.
Dehydration
-
Bulimia forces a large amount of liquid out of the stomach along with food. This can severely limit the body's water intake, leading to dehydration.
Psychological Effects
-
Bulimia can lead to several emotional symptoms such as anxiety, depression and abnormal eating habits. The affected person may also be obsessive about weight or work out constantly.
Periods
-
In women, bulimia may lead to irregular periods or ceasing to have periods due to lack of proper nutrition being provided to the body.
