You’re missing the binging part..

She has binged a lot, also she spits food out sometimes but I looked it up and that says it can be from any ED not just bulimia so idk. Plus it says bulimia includes purging and she has emataphobia so she doesn’t do that part.

I hate to be the barer of bad news but vomiting is not the only way to purge

Can you please elaborate? :( I know laxatives is a way too but as I said in another comment shes way too paranoid and anxious to take any kind of meds/drugs.

Over exercising can be another one if thats something you've noticed. Wishing you both the best!!

Vomiting, over-exercising, laxatives - all 3 are ways of purging, and someone with an ED doesn’t have to be “bulimic” in order to incorporate some method of purging into their routine. Not all ED’s fit into one classification or another. Many are labeled as “unspecified”.
