My daughter has been purging off and on for the last year...that I know of... She declares that she is at a point where she is ready to stop...and indeed has not purged for some time. However, at times, when she eats, normally, her food does not seem to stay down... and she feels like vomiting even though she may not want to... I understand that this is probably an after effect of her making herself throw-up off and on for over such a long period of time. Is there anything we could do "naturally" to help ease her body back into accepting food and keeping it down. Thank you so much for answering our question.
Additional info, added Monday April 16 2007, 7:03 pm: Unfortunately I failed when asking my question, to let you know that my daughter does not live with me and I am just now finding out about her situation. And ofcourse, I definately need to get her professional help a.s.a.p....but I do realize that there are many options available to us including "Natural Alternative" and or "Christian Based" methods of dealing with this issue and that is why I was doing research on the internet about this problem, I came across your web page and decided to ask what I thought was a legitamate question (not knowing much about the problem) but definately did not expect to get lam-blasted about what I asked. All I can say to you is Kudos! Keep up the good work.... If I were to read the question, not knowing the full situaton,
I probably would have lam-blasted me too!
I say Kudos to you because it is true...there are far too many people who do not take this problem serious enough!...but rest assured, I am not one of them... Thanks Again for your assistance!.

I am not trying to critisize you but what in the world were you thinking that you could just handle this on your own... Your daughter has a real medical condition this is not something she can just "stop" doing. Get her some help please before she has lasting affects for the rest of her life....

You need professional advice, not what a bunch of random people on the internet think you should do. For the sake of your daughter, please take her to a doctor. If you don't, and try to solve this on your own, it could have serious consequences. Good luck."

ammo answered Monday April 16 2007, 11:34 am: It does indeed sound like an after effect from her making herself throw up and her body rejecting the food. Overall I think the best thing you can do is seek professional help as they will be far better qualified in providing you with the help you need to help your daughter. Here in the UK there are many help lines you can call for advice (incase you don't want to visit your doctor) but int he USA I am uncertain (as I am in the UK).
For the time being though, I think the best thing to do in the meantime would be to start slowly with food. Like eating a small amount over a period of time and then gradually increasing as her body adjusts to the intake of the food. However, as I stated above, the best course of action you can take is to seek professional assistance and advice to ensure your daughter progresses well. Hope it all goes well and well done to your daughter for wanting to stop. [ ammo's advice column | Ask ammo A Question ]
