Unlike anorexia or other eating disorders, problematic warning signs relating to bulimia are often harder to identify. This is due to the fact that those suffering from bulimia nervosa often tend to hide their bingeing and purging behaviors.

Due to society’s perception and stigma around what a person with an eating disorder looks like, individuals who struggle with bulimia often go unnoticed by even those who are closest to them because they appear to have a “normal” body size.

Some health consequences associated with bulimia include:

• Chronically inflamed sore throat
• Tooth decay due to stomach acid exposure
• Gastroesophageal reflux disorder from frequent vomiting
• Intestinal problems from laxative abuse
• Swollen face and cheeks
• Dehydration from fluid purging
• Swollen salivary glands
• Kidney issues from diuretic use
