Is someone bulimic if they don't purge frequently?

Okay, so let me start out by saying this is for my little sister and I am just trying to see if I need to let someone know if she needs some kind of professional help. So she used to take adderall all the time and she never ate, she was so skinny and little and then about 6 months ago she was taken off of it and started to gain weight. She is by no means fat, but one time I told her she needs to watch her weight so she doesn't get this way (she's 14 and just starting to fill out). I think she has taken it to the extreme. Because she ate 4 pieces of pizza the other day and just went to the bathroom and I had to pee so I followed her...to my suprise the sink was on and it was obvious that she was making herself vomit. I cornered her later and asked her how long she's done this and she says that she just does it every once in a while when she binge eats. She is my baby sissy and I don't want her to fall into some eating disorder statistic. How do I help her?Is someone bulimic if they don't purge frequently?
Whether you purge a couple times a year or five times a day, whether you fit the medical criteria or not, if you make yourself throwup then you have A PROBLEM. It is not normal and should not be taken lightly!! Obviously she has issues now and this should NOT be brushed off or ignored. Bulimia tends to spiral out of control and get worse VERY QUICKLY. Please please PLEASE act now, you could be saving her life!Is someone bulimic if they don't purge frequently?
oh I'm sorry :-( This needs to be addressed immediately. First have a talk with her about the weight comment and say that that's not what you meant. Reassure her that she does not need to lose weight.



i think you'll also need to let your parents know about this because will probably need counselling. she may n eed to go to an eating disorder support group.Is someone bulimic if they don't purge frequently?
Tell your parent/s she may say she only does it once in a while, but that may be a lie. try to get her help before it gets worse
