Bulimia is also called bulimia<\/a>\u00a0nervosa<\/a>\u00a0and is characterized by recurrent episodes of\u00a0binge eating<\/a>\u00a0followed by efforts to prevent weight gain such as self-induced vomiting,\u00a0laxatives<\/a>, medications, fasting or extreme exercise.<\/p>\n

Other characteristics include depression,\u00a0constipation<\/a>, fatigue, dehydration, irregular heartbeat and damaged teeth and gums from repeated vomiting.<\/p>\n

It may be difficult to tell the difference between an eating disorder and the fads of adolescence.<\/p>\n

Parents must be in tuned to changes in their children\u2019s behavior that is sustained and isn\u2019t the occasional quirks of a teen trying to find their way in the world.<\/p>\n

Some indications that a child may have\u00a0bulimia<\/a>\u00a0and not wanting to eat with the family; frequent long visits to the bathroom or excessive exercise and preoccupation with weight.<\/p>\n

The health problems that are related to bulimia aren\u2019t as severe as they are with people who suffer from other types of eating disorders such as\u00a0anorexia<\/a>. Complications from\u00a0bulimia<\/a>\u00a0can include\u00a0heart disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bulimia and\u00a0heart disease<\/a>\u00a0are linked because of the nutritional deficits that sufferers experience when they continually purge their bodies of the nutrition they just ate. Purging will result in dehydration and a lower level of potassium in the blood.<\/p>\n

Potassium is used by the body to regulate the heartbeat. It is one of the chemicals used in the electrical stimulation of the heart. Purging decreases the amount of potassium in the body and results in weak and irregular heart rhythms.<\/p>\n

Low potassium levels are also a result of\u00a0laxative<\/a>\u00a0use that people who suffer from\u00a0bulimia<\/a>\u00a0use to attempt to control their weight. This dehydration and low potassium can lead to near paralysis and lethal heart rhythms.<\/p>\n

Long term low potassium levels will lead to bulimia and\u00a0heart disease<\/a>. But there are other dangers of\u00a0bulimia<\/a>\u00a0that will lead to\u00a0heart disease<\/a>. A bulimic eating disorder includes\u00a0binge eating<\/a>\u00a0and that binging doesnt usually include vegetables and fruits but instead animal fats and processed foods. When people who binge eat and then exercise excessively to take off those calories eat high fat foods they also put themselves at higher risk for\u00a0high blood pressure<\/a>, elevated\u00a0cholesterol levels<\/a>\u00a0and type 2\u00a0Diabetes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The end result of all of these symptoms is\u00a0bulimia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0heart disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although people with bulimia usually are normal weight, or even a little\u00a0overweight<\/a>, there are some instances when sufferers are also underweight from lack of nutrition. People who are 15% less than normal weight also are at risk for heart conditions and kidney failure. Without enough body fat to keep body organs and other parts healthy malnutrition can result in death.<\/p>\n

Most studies of people suffering from bulimia, which isnt accompanied by severe\u00a0weight loss<\/a>, have a better chance of recovery than those patients with concurrent\u00a0anorexia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A study reported in 2002 found that people who suffered from eating disorders while they were adolescents had a higher risk of psychological and medical problems that included circulatory disorders such as\u00a0high blood pressure<\/a>\u00a0and at higher risk of\u00a0bone fractures<\/a>, chronic fatigue,\u00a0headache<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0insomnia<\/a>.<\/p>\n
