Vomiting
Individuals who force themselves to be sick after meals may have the eating disorder bulimia nervosa. Forcibly vomiting after bingeing is a classic sign of the condition. Individuals with anorexia nervosa may just as easily induce vomit without prior bingeing.
Other signs of frequent vomiting could be callouses on the knuckles, which can develop from using the fingers to force the vomit, and the loss of tooth enamel from the acidity in vomit.
