Purging Anorexia

Purging anorexia is a type of anorexia where an individual will have the tendency to induce vomiting once he or she has eaten. The sufferer will eat and after digesting they will immediately be overcome with a sense of shame and guilt for the action that they have done and will force themselves to be sick to rid themselves of the food. This is done either through vomiting or ingesting diuretics or laxatives to take out the food they have eaten.
