Step 1: Spend time with the suspected sufferer
Spend time with the sufferer. Listen to what they – they may refuse to participate in normal daily activities, seem depressed, or complain about their weight.
Step 2: Monitor food
Check the refrigerator at night, then again early morning to see if large amounts of food are missing. Binge eating is often done in secret, at night.
Step 3: Pay attention to time spent in restroom
Notice if the person spends a lot of time in the restroom. Most purging – self-induced vomiting – is done in secret.
Laxatives, enemas, water, and diet pills are also methods used by bulimics.
Step 4: Look for physical signs
Look for complaints of a sore throat, foul breath, decaying teeth, or sores on the backs of hands. These are signs of repetitive manual purging.
Step 5: Seek professional help
Seek the advice of a doctor or mental health professional for information on how to approach the individual. Symptoms of bulimia may vary from person to person but a true diagnosis must come from a licensed professional.
In ancient Rome people used to vomit up food in the period of feasting.
