Testimonials

"If I never said thank you before, let me say it now. Even though it took you almost six weeks to get me to go for treatment, you never gave up on me, like I always gave up on myself. A special thanks to Jodi who never stopped believing in me. By the way, I have been in recovery for 7 months now, what a miracle."
Erin B, Minneapolis, Minnesota

"It's been 17 months, six days and four hours since I last purged, but who is counting. It turned out to be much harder to give up my eating disorder than the cocaine. You were right about going to an eating disorder treatment center that was just as skilled in drug addiction as bulimia. Life is Good!"
Brenda T., Chicago Illinois

"We wanted to thank you helping us find treatment for our daughter. She's like a different person. We are so grateful to all of your staff."
Nancy and Gary B. - Baltimore, Maryland

Sarah P. - Raleigh, North Carolina

"Donna, if there is ever anything you need from me just let me know. I am still in recovery, 2yrs., and if I didn't listen to you that day, I never would have made it. Thanks!!!!"
Barbara S. - Long Island, New York

"Bobbie at EatingDisorderClinic.org rocks! Just want you to know I took your advice and followed through with treatment. You were right, I needed to be there and yes, it changed my life."

Physical Bulimia Effects

The effects of bulimia nervosa can have a dramatic impact on one's physical health and appearance. In most cases, the individual living with bulimia will go to great lengths to hide the tell-tale signs that they are suffering from this eating disorder. The common physical effects of bulimia can include:

  • Damage to the teeth, gums and mouth
  • Swollen salivary glands
  • Frequent heartburn
  • Constipation
  • Dry and brittle hair, skin and nails
  • Dehydration
  • Scarred hands or knuckles
  • Chronic kidney problems
  • Low potassium levels in the body
  • Irregular heartbeat and other cardio-problems

Emotional Bulimia Effects

Bulimia's long term effects can also wreck havoc on one's emotional state. In most cases, the mental issues associated with bulimia nervosa are a combination of the effects of the disease on the body and the emotional or psychological reasons for the development of the disease in the first place. The psychological effects of bulimia can include:

  • Depression
  • Low self-esteem
  • Low self-worth
  • Anxiety
  • Tension
  • Irritability
  • Stress
