Does Excessive Eating Followed By Purging Mean Bulimia Nervosa?
I suspect my sister in law is bulimic. She always goes to the bathroom just after or at the end of dinner (the only meal I eat with her present) and every time has a red rash-like breakout on her chest when she returns. Then an hour later complains of being starving when she has eaten easily over a pound of food at dinner. She is 5 9 and 121. Could these thugs be connected?
