Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder indicated by uncontrolled binge eating, often involving large amounts of high-calorie foods, followed by induced vomiting or using laxatives to purge all of the food eaten. The eating and purging are often done in secret. This is a very serious medical and psychological problem with potentially dangerous complications. The disorder is often stress related especially with emotional issues. Good nutritional supplements can help a lot, and the care and understanding of those around the person with bulimia.
