Does Bulimia Cause Acne??!?? Help!!
Posted: 03-19-06 18:01pm

:cry:
i have been bulimic for about 5 years now and it seems almost impossible for me to get out of this cycle.
However, for the past 2 years I have developed severe acne and it seems that no medications seem to help or improve it.
Does bulimia cause acne??? Please help!!
Thank you....

Yeah it would, because of the unbalanced diet. Fruit does heaps to help acne, would you be comfortable just eating like an apple or a banana?

Technically, its not scientifically proven that food consumption be it healthy or bad is linked to getting acne.

The reason you prolly getting acne is due to the stress on yo ur body from bullemia, i.E the damges to your heart, kidneys and liver. Also, all that acid shooting out your mouth might be splashing back, hitting your face and irratating the skin.
