Nausea and vomiting

Do you guys feel nauseous before purging? I usually do after a binge. I try to starve myself most days but I'm so weak I do binge sometimes. It makes me feel sick and disgusted. One problem is that sometimes I feel more nauseous after vomiting, which kind of makes me do it again to let the feeling out. Do any of you struggle with nausea?

Be careful about waiting too long to vomit
Stomach acid can build up and when you throw up it can (with repeated events), cause damage to your esophagus .

If you happen to leave it too long ....mix some carb soda with two large glasses of water - wait 5- 10 minutes (you'll burp - but that's a sign it's neutralized the acid ), then vomit .
I'd also recommend eating somwthing like yogurt and fruit afterwards (with some fiber added), to keep your beneficial stomach bacteria healthy .

The nausea before purging I think is psychological ....we kinda will into happen as we [b]want [/b] to throw up .

This can lessen over years and go completely away making it hard to purge , or it can become a problem and all food makes you feel nauseous .

I can recommend looking up functional medicine and it's food regimes.

I know what it's like to be in the habit of purging .
And you want to make it as healthy as possible .
Nutrition is important, and eating something healthy after you purge is important - your body is all geared up for food - so make sure you put a little bit back in .....even if it's just a small amount , make it something that is nutritionally or probiotically dense .

@OogieBoogie I always make sure I purge immediately after eating and with a big bottle of water that I force myself to chug

@OogieBoogie I've made myself so nauseous by this point, most of what enters my stomach makes me feel sick now. I think excessive vomiting can make the stomach more nauseous or weaker

@Justinvincible excessive [i]anything [/i]can retrain a body .
It's ok .
You can retrain it back .
I was bulimic for over 10 years .
I am still fixing some last things -.but that's only because now I know more.

Life is balance . If you do crwp to your body - do good for it too.

If you have trouble stopping eating , work from the other way ....try a fasting day now and then - it rests all your digestive system.
You can take supplements while you do it .

I found eating a little bit after throwing up was my way to eating again .
It takes time , it took me years to grow out of it ....and thats ok .

I would look into nutrition though - it helps you have a deeper understanding and changes the type of relationship you have

But do use the carb soda to neitralise the acid .
Your throat isn't the same tissue as your stomach ...and you can create ulcers and stuff .

Look after yourself .💚
