I believe so. Suffering from bulimia, as far as I understand, equals binging (eating more than what is considered normal in a short amount of time) and afterwards trying to one way or another purge what has been eaten. Purging can mean throwing up, but could also mean other methods of ridding the body of food. Exercising excessively to get rid of the calories consumed or abusing laxatives are a few other methods of purging which a bulimic might use instead of puking.
