Bulimia Nervosa

Symptoms of bulimia

Bulimia involves cycles of binge eating followed by purging—through vomiting, laxative use, or extreme exercise—to avoid weight gain. Unlike anorexia, individuals with bulimia may maintain a “normal” weight.

Common Signs:

  • Eating large amounts of food in secret

  • Disappearing after meals

  • Swollen cheeks or jaw

  • Erosion of tooth enamel

  • Feeling out of control during binges

ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)

Common Signs:

  • Limited variety of foods eaten

  • Avoidance due to sensory issues

  • Weight loss or poor growth

  • Nutritional deficiencies

  • Social withdrawal related to eating
