I'm bulimic(been for about seven years)
and I have eroded my tonsils and they have
little orifices in them that store little
pieces of a soft yellowish material that
my doctor said were platelets...He didn't
say anything except that I now have to use
listerine for the rest of my life. My
mother told him about my ed and i'm too
ashamed to seek a second opinion. Could
someone please help me find out what is
wrong with my throat?

I have no knowledge of bulemia's effect on
the tonsils--but I get hard yellow-white
bits in my tonsils sometimes and i've
never been bulemic (and I don't get sick
naturally much either).
The ones that I get are called tonsilliths
(tonsil stones). They are made up of food
particles, mucus, just whatever gets in
those crevices by your tonsils.
Still, dunno if that's the same thing.
Just might put your mind at ease if it was
something as simple as tonsilliths.
(listerine probably helps those, too.)

Stuff Where Tonsils Used to Be And Bulimia Posted: 03-01-06 18:10pm
I've been a bulimic for 20 years. And I
too have always had those nasty little
smelly things on where my tonsils use to
be (the must have disappereared due to the
builima because I never had them removed
by a doctor). The doctor told me that I
had food particials built up and asked me
if I made my self throw up. I denied it
to the hills. But I knew where he was
going. I use long q tips and wet them in
mouth wash then work the particles off of
the indentions of where my tonsils use to
be. And then I use mouth wash.
The one thing I have noticed is I have
been in counseling for over a year for my
ed and I have not made myself get sick in
a year. I have not had any stuff in the
back of my throat in a while either.

It is not only hard on your tonsils but it
is hard on your esophagus and stomach and
stomach lining along with it causing
arthritis and other problems including
losing yoour teeeth. So please, if you
are doing this be upfront with your dr and
parents and seek professional help as it
can kill you whether you believe it or
not, I am telling you the truth. Their
are plenty trained professionals that can
help you out!
