1. Binge eating: Consuming large amounts of food
in a discrete period, often feeling a lack of control over eating during these
episodes.
2. Purging behaviors: Engaging in activities to
compensate for binge eating, such as self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives
or diuretics, fasting, or excessive exercise.
3. Frequent trips to the bathroom after meals:
Individuals with bulimia may disappear shortly after eating to purge food.
4. Fluctuations in weight: Rapid changes in
weight, both gain and loss, can be a sign of bulimia due to binge eating and
purging cycles.
5. Dental problems: Erosion of dental enamel due
to repeated exposure to stomach acid from vomiting.
6. Swollen salivary glands: Enlargement of the
glands around the cheeks and jawline due to repeated vomiting.
7. Gastrointestinal issues: Symptoms such as
bloating, constipation, or abdominal pain may occur due to irregular eating
patterns and purging.
8. Excessive concern with body image and weight:
Preoccupation with weight, body shape, and appearance, often accompanied by
distorted self-image.
9. Mood swings and irritability: Fluctuations in
mood and emotional instability may occur due to the stress and guilt associated
with bulimia.
10. Secrecy and avoidance of social situations
involving food: Individuals with bulimia may try to hide their eating habits
and avoid gatherings where food is present due to shame and embarrassment.
