In the past I have been bulemic, however i went in recovery but have now relapsed. In my relapse I have been doing some chew spit in place of binges.

I know there are a lot of risks with purging. But are there really any health risks with chew spitting as long as you are actually eating enough nutrients?

It could damage/erode your tooth enamel, depending on how often and what types of food you chew spit. Apart from that, I’m not sure if there are any other health risks. I don’t chew spit often.

if you eat something filling and water beforehand, as well as brush teeth afterwards, very little is done. however if you dont eat beforehand, your stomach will produce acids and become upset, cause ulcers (permanent), insulin is released with nothing to digest so you become hungry and your metabolism slows way down. Digestive fluids in your mouth can cause irritation to gums and throat and erode teeth, and cavities. I also heard that the glands that produce spit can become inflamed if you sit there and chew and spit a lot of food. Personally I only chew and spit 1 dessert item or a high calorie meal, never more than a meal though
