How Should Bulimia With Irritation, Acid Reflux And Stomach Bloating Be Treated?

I have suffered with Bulimia for 15years and basically i want to stop but i really dont know how to eat normally anymore. I try to eat small portions but i cant stand the feeling of being full, it makes me feel very stressed and tearful and no matter how i try i cant keep the food down! I m 37 now, im in a happy, stable relationship and i really just want to be normal but i have no idea where to start! I feel my health is really starting to suffer now, im tired all of time, im irritable, i have no energy, i suffer from acid reflux and my stomach is always bloated! I live in a foreign country so i have nowhere to go for any help! Please could you give me some advice on how to change my lifestyle and my diet! Thankyou in advance!

Hello,

Bulimia is a psychological condition needed to be treated. These people may develop acid reflux or weight loss or corrosion or teeth or nutritional deficiency.

Which may again lead to stomach pain and vomiting.

Use tablet pantoprazole. Check for hemoglobin or electrolyte status.

Avoid spicy food, alcohol. Avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.

If symptoms not improved please consult your physician/psychiatrist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
