In order to deal properly with bulimia we need to understand and — if possible — remove the underlying causes and risk factors. We need to ask: "What else is going on inside the body that might allow bulimia to develop?"
Accurate diagnosis of the factors behind bulimia consists of three steps:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Ovarian Cysts | 93% | Confirm |
Need For Dietary Improvement | 29% | Unlikely |
Food Allergies | 12% | Unlikely |
Poor Digestion | 5% | Ruled out |
Brain Tumor | 4% | Ruled out |
Low Serotonin | 1% | Ruled out |
Liver Congestion | 0% | Ruled out |
Bulimia. Have you ever had this eating disorder?
Possible responses:
→ Don't know→ No → In the past only, not a current problem → Current moderate problem → Current major problem |
Having had an eating disorder as a child increases the risk of a brain tumor later in life.
Polycystic or multifollicular ovarian cysts are common in bulimics.
