That happened to me before. I went
through some tests and sonos and they
didn't find anything. So, the doc said
it was probably just a cut or something in
my esophogus which can happen when you
vomit sometimes. Idk, with your past you
might want to look into it more.

Blood Posted: 02-06-05 01:21am
Hey, i'm also bulimic and this has
happened to me a few times. Ironically,
also today. What color was the blood ?
What consistency was it ?
If it was light and thin, brighter
red(ish) in color that probably means you
have a cut in your esophogus/throat/mouth.
However, if the blood was dark brownish
or even black and chunky - appearing
almost like coffee grounds, with a
stronger metallic blood taste, it is very
serious. This could mean you ruptured an
internal organ or that something is
seriously wrong w/ you. This could lead
to death or serious complications. If
that's the case get checked out
immediately.
I hope it was the lighter color.

:( blood is never a good sign. It could
be that you just scratched the back of
your throat with sharp food. But it could
be serious, like a ruptured esophagus or
throat cancer. The point is that bulimia
is very bad for you! Sooner or later you
will develop some serious or even fatal
reaction.
Please get help so you can stop!
Recovery is possible. I was bulimic for
over 10 years & I sometimes threw up
10 times a day. But now I am over it,
haven't even thought about purging in
years. You can do it too!

Hi, I am 18 years old and have been
bulimic for almost 2 years. Before that
I was anorexic for near to a year. I
recently had a scary episode where on my
first binge I threw up a blood clot. It
was of a darker colour, darker then when I
have scratched my throat, but it was only
one small clot. And it has not happened
since.(about 2 episodes). Is this
something that I should worry about?
I would sincerely appreciate an answer you
could give me.
