I'm 16, a recovered-okay, recovering-bulimic, and I think I have acid reflux (probably caused by the bulimia). I offhandedly mentioned the latter to my mother today, so now I'm going to the doctor sometime soon.
I looked it up online, and all of the tests they do seem to involve tubes going through the nose or mouth down the throat... I have a major phobia of tubes in my throat. Are there any tests that DO NOT involve tubes?
Also, can these tests indicate bulimia? I haven't purged in almost eight weeks (my record) and I think I might be done for good; for my mother to find out now would be pointless and torturous for all involved. Please help?
Also--my doctor has no concept of doctor-patient confidentiality when it comes to minors. So letting my doc know about the bulimia in private is out of the question.
