Hi, thanks for your question. It can be really difficult when someone confides something like that to you, especially if you don't know the person really well. Vomiting up food after eating is not a very healthy thing to be doing and your friend may need some advice about what to do next. You might also feel that you need to talk to someone to find out more about eating disorders and what other people can do to help.

There is an organisation in Victoria called Eating Disorders Foundation of Victoria which you can call on Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 5:00pm on 03 9885 0318. The EDFV can provide you with lots of information on eating disorders or support if you just want to talk to someone about your friend. Your friend is also able to call or email the EDFV to chat or to find out about where she might be able to go to find help.
