This is a super random question but I have been struggling with bulimia for about 5 years now. I am 24, 5'5/5'6 and about 140 lbs. People often tell me when I tell them my weight they actually think I weigh less. (I think I have a lot of muscle on me?) I know I have to quit, I have gotten better.. but what exactly can bulimia do to you? Can it ruin your liver?

Bulimia (purging type) can lead to various physical anomalies including gastric reflux, dehydration, damage to esophagus and larynx, electrolyte imbalance>leading to cardiac arrhythmia/arrest, vitamin deficiency, gastroparesis (delayed emptying of stomach), constipation, infertility, dental problems, glandular enlargement in the neck, peptic ulcers, damage to liver, stomach and lungs.
