How do you make yourself throw-up? i stick whole toothbrushes down my throat, but it just doesn't come up.

Question:

how can some people throw-up with two fingers, and i can't with an entire toothbrush!?

Answers:
Why are you trying to make yourself throw up? It is an unhealthy thing to do for it can cause damage to your esophagus and throat with the acid from your stomach coming back up. People who are afraid of gaining weight use it to try to stop weight gain; it is usually a sign of anorexia and bulimia. If this is the case I think you need to check in with your doctor or depending on your age, with your parents before it causes serious health problems.
The best way to control your weight is to watch what you eat and exercise instead of eating and vomiting.

well if you can big tonsils then you just think of the grossest things and you'll probably throw up i think

what ever your trying to do, stop it because your only going to hurt the ones that love you. think of your family!

Bad gag reflex. or a good one. Please don't do this, do you have any idea what you will be doing to your body long term? Teeth rot, wont that be pretty with your new skinny body? If you feel you must do this you need to seek some type of medical attention be it medical or psychological doctor. This is not the way to go.

umm..maybe u should see someone about tht.nd i wasnt tlkin about not being able to throw up with a toothbrush.

man i can throw up just by thinking about it..i consider it a gift..

Quit it! I took care of someone just the other day who constantly stuck a toothbrush down their throat, and they perforated their esophagus. They ended up with a trach and a feeding tube. Quit sticking things down ur throat.

Why are you making yourself throw up? Your body will vomit/throw-up on it's on when it needs to. There is no reason to force yourself to throw-up. And, doing so will cause significant damage to your body

Okay, here's what will happen to you if you get the hang of throwing up: I know I did it for 8 years. My back molers rotted in my mouth from the stomach acid that came up and after they cracked and broke in two, they had to be pulled. Now my throat has HOLES in it. I mean real holes that food builds up in every few months and I cough up the compacted food as it comes out of the holes, and it's the most god awful smell you could imagine, and there is nothing that can be done to fix them. Every time I threw up it put a strain on my heart and the muscle around my heart. So you not only face the risk of dying from malnutrition, but it's very common to have a heart attack from the incredible strain you put on your heart. But this is all of course just something to think about before you begin the glamorous lifestyle of a bulimic. By the way I have been in recovery for two years and my body has never been healthier now that I actually EAT food-- and it took a long time for me to mentally heel from the hell I put my body through. And if you throw up long enough, your body can start throwing up everything you eat without you controlling it. So it would look real good as you are eating with family or friends and you just vomit at the table. Just food for thought.

I can't either i had to use syrup of epicip (sp) but i don'y reccomend anyone doing this diet the right way

You need professional help now! have you seen what happens to a bulemic out of control? ppl. kill themselves this way every year. first you force urself to throw up after every meal then ur body gets used to doing this. eventually you won't need to stick your fingers down your throat because you'll automaticly throw up and untreated u can starve to death if other dieseases don't get you first.your immune systems gets shot because of lack of nutrients and all it'll take is common cold.but what do you care at least you'll good in your grave?

Ipecac.Get it at the drugstore.It will make you throw up.
