Britney is bulimic?
Britney Spears has confessed to doctors that she has been suffering from the eating disorder bulimia since she was 16.
The 25-year-old singer tearfully told rehab staff – already treating her for drug and alcohol abuse – that she “pigs out” on junk food like burgers, sweets, biscuits and ice cream then makes herself vomit to avoid putting on weight.
Britney’s nine-year nightmare, revealed in an American magazine, was confirmed by a senior source at the £24,000-a-month Promises centre in Malibu, California.
She entered the centre last month after shaving her head at a hair salon.
“Doctors are alarmed at the physical state she is in,” said the source. “They confronted her about her desperately unhealthy lifestyle and the truth came pouring out.”
Britney said she managed to stop the dangerous habit during her two pregnancies.
But as soon as sons Sean Preston and Jayden James were born, she began the desperately unhealthy cycle again in an effort to lose her added baby weight.
On top of her alcohol and alleged cocaine use, the bulimia turned her into a “human wreck”, according to the source, who added: “When she came here she was shaking and baking. Her whole body was wracked by spasms and she was hot one minute, then freezing cold the next.
“Her first week in detox was real hell. She was in a total mess but slowly she’s pulling through.”
Dietary specialists at Promises are working with doctors to help Britney conquer the eating disorder – famously suffered by Princess Diana – which was discovered when specialists realised why her medications were not working.
The source said: “For the first few days, she’d take her tablets, then go off and eat breakfast or lunch. She was throwing the whole lot up, so, naturally, her medications weren’t working. Now the medical experts know why, her progress should pick up a little speed.”

kelendria, you act like you are some kind of authority on the subject!!! i have suffered from bulimia/bulemic behaviors for nearly 20 years off and on. for the last few years i have mostly stopped but even now i slip up from time to time. my control of the disorder has been better and worse at different points in my life, usually depending on stress or emotional stability. i also had 2 children, and stopped the behavior while i was pregnant, only to start up again afterwards.
there is no law that says if she was bulemic she’d be dead or dying by now. people have been known to live their entire lives while suffering this disorder. it CAN be deadly but it isn’t always. it IS VERY DANGEROUS and stupid. i may discover later on in life that i have some health drawbacks as a result of this problem, but as of the moment i have no major health issues. just thought i’d inform you from an experienced point of view. whether or not britney has it-who knows? i pretty much assume nearly all women in hollywood suffer from some kind of eating disorder. its probably just one of many problems she’s coping with right now.

I agree with Kelendria…all these stories are such bullsh*t and not even from a relevant source ” an american magazine ” ??…and its funny how everyone on the web posts them, like its true…no one knows why she’s there…and im sure a well-known rehab facility isn’t going to leak a celebrity’s information like that…

i’m not arguing the point whether or not the magazines are telling the truth- but kelendria is totally uninformed on what bulimia is and what it means if you have it.

excuse me but when you have bulimia you can’t live a normal life because you became weak.you can’t do tours everyear , travel everytime, have kids .With all the necessary element in food you organism become very weak , you can’t live with that forever and certainly not when you had the crzay life britney used to have.
You know what that’s just bullshit next week there will a new crapy story to feed everyone insane curiosity

uh ok kelendria. do you have bulimia? if you don’t then i’m not sure what makes you feel you can tell someone who has the disorder what the disorder is and how it affects you. you’re wrong! sorry! have a great day!

oh so now to talk about a disease you have to be a patient or the doctor…
March 14th, 2007 at 4:21 am
you are making some very strong statements- and no you don’t have to be a dr. or a patient, but i think if you are wise you’d probably defer to a patient or doctor of the disorder if they are telling you your statements are incorrect. i don’t think you can’t talk about it, but as a non-sufferer and as a non-medical professional, i don’t think you have the right to tell me (a sufferer) what bulimia is or how it affects people. i know firsthand what its like. you can’t tell me its this or that because i’m living it! or that when i tell you what it is like that i’m wrong. thats totally stupid.
