Suggest Treatment For Bulimia

Hi, im 20 years old and its been about a year since i stopped puking after i eat. See, im bulimic. And lately ive started to puke again. Its been like 4 days now that i puke about twice a day. But today my stomach feels... Funny. Like empty, but it hurts too. Like a sore feeling after you work out a lot. What does that mean? Can it be a really bad thing, or just the acids working up? Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about a 20 year old, it's about a year since you stopped puking after eating. Since you are bulimic, you have started puking up again, about twice a day, but today stomach feels funny, like empty, but it hurts too, like a sore feeling you work out a lot, wants to know what does that mean, whether acid working attacks.
My thoughts and advise:
Since you are bulimic, such things ought to occur. Hence the basic treatment is to take an opinion of a Psychiatrist to have the treatment for your bulimia and if the medical treatment fails, please consult a Surgical Gastroenterologist, or a Medical Gastroenterologist to for further management .
The puking will stop by eating small frequent meals.
Avoid oily and spicy foods.
You will have to control the problem of bulimia, it is possible.
Also take a PPI and see if there is some relief, if it is present, please continue and have an upper GI Endoscopy to see what the problem is.
