Subject: Re: Throwing up Author: Chocolate [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:38:09 04/27/05 Wed In reply to: Shani 's message, "Throwing up" on 06:11:06 04/26/05 Tue Hi, Sorry that you are throwing up again, lara is probably right, mostly there is something that causes that stress and we project that stress on food. What I do want to tell you is that if you throw up frequently you run the risk of a potassium deficit. That is really dangerous. The point is that there is plenty of potassium in our food but by throwing up your body releases a huge amount of potassium. A POTASSIUM DEFICIT IS CAUSE OF DEATH NR. 1 FOR PEOPLE WITH EATING DISORDERS!!!!! Anyway what I really hope you will do is take a potassium supplement after you throw up (not before) to avoid this. You can get potassium in every drugstore and it is a supplement so will probably not have a lot of side effects. But please just do this. I dont want to 'facilitate' anybody on this board to continue their ed but it is really important that you take the supplement if you either throw up or take laxatives frequently. so, after the preach.... I hope you will be feeling better soon, we all know how it is when the ed is stronger than you. We have all had it, so dont be ashamed or feel guilty and feel free to talk about it here any time you like. Choco [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
