Answer:
1. Bulimia
2. By eating normally, you can break the binge-and-purge cycle and still reach a healthy, attractive weight
3. Bulimia can cause intestinal problems such as diarrhea and constipation. The acid content of vomit damages the esophagus. It also damages the tooth enamel, causing the teeth to take on a clear appearance. It can cause stomach ulcers and sores inside the mouth. In extreme cases the constant binging and purging can even cause the stomach to rupture.
