If someone has gastric reflux could that be a sign that they have an eating disorder like bulimic?Im worried about a friend, she has lost alot of weight recently and i think she could have an eating disorder.. she may have gastric reflux (doctors aren't sure, they are doing another test on thursday) could this be a sign that she has an eating disorder?

The gastric reflux is probably not a sign of an eating disorder. Losing weight could be a sign of an eating disorder, but if she has gastric reflux she might just not feel like eating which would then cause her to lose weight. If you are really worried about it try asking her about it.

i used to be bulimic years ago and now suffer terribly with gastric reflux, im not bulimic now but because of the reflux i cant bear the thought of eating so im losing weight and my friends and family think im making myself sick again, for her own sake she needs to be honest with the doctors when she goes for her tests, if you get the chance watch her like a hawk, is she eating lots of food and disappearing soon afterwards, is she obsessed with the weight shes losing, is she secretive, does her breath smell sickly, does she go on huge downers with no energy, these are things i used to do, ive ruined my life being bulimic, its not just the reflux, i have constant erosion's which are agony when they start, a hiatus hernia and all sorts of other things, it probably wont do any good begging her not to do it, she needs to see a councillor, i never got that chance...
