Top 4 Most Terrifying Bulimia Complications You Should Know About

Many people suffering from bulimia never seek help and live with this illness for years - even many decades. These people don’t understand the true dangers of bulimia.

Without the right bulimia nervosa treatment, bulimia kills!

Here are four ways bulimia can kill you:

1) Electrolyte Imbalance

We need the correct balance of electrolytes in our bodies to ensure our muscles, organs, and nerves work well. Bulimics often suffer from severe electrolyte imbalances caused by extreme vomiting or laxative abuse. Electrolyte imbalances put massive stress on your organs and can cause sudden cardiac arrest and death.

2) Gastric Rupture

A gastric rupture happens when a bulimic person eats a massive amount of food during a binge. The volume of food that you have eaten is so great that it bursts your gastro-intestinal tract. Gastric Ruptures are one of the most terrifying of all bulimia complications... It will most likely kill you, and it will be so unexpected.

3) Ketoacidosis

Ketoacidosis is when high levels of acids build up in your bloodstream. These acids are also known as ketones. They occur when your body burns stored fat, rather than food sources, to gain its energy. It is caused by starvation, bingeing and purging, extreme dehydration, diabetes, alcoholism, and hyperglycaemia. If Ketoacidosis is not treated, it could result in a sudden coma and even death.

4) Cancer!

Many bulimics suffer from constant and severe acid reflux. This is because they have damaged their ‘non-return valve,’ which helps to keep food down. 1 in every 10 people who suffer from terrible acid reflux will develop a condition called from Barrett’s Oesophagus. Barrett’s Oesophagus can lead to cancer of the Oesophagus. This is extremely dangerous as it is often discovered at a late stage - once treatment is difficult and ineffective.

How to prevent and avoid these terrifying bulimia complications?

Don’t let bulimia own you. Don’t spend hours every day with your head in the loo, watering eyes, burning throat, and aching heart. Don’t let your self worth getting chipped away at... bit by bit, binge by binge. Visit an eating disorder specialist in London as soon as possible.
