"'Wreck' Britney has bulimia
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."

Re: "'Wreck' Britney has bulimia
I don't buy this story at all. Any of the times my dad went through detox, besides the fact he was in such bad shape phyically and mentally from going through withdrawal, he wasn't allowed to use the phone or email, let alone go out shopping mutilple times.
ETA: I mean that I don't think she's going through detox, I feel like it seems like more of a mental health couseling program for her.

I'm confused... there is nothing mentioned about the phone or email or shopping...
But to be bullemic on top of everything else!  This girl needs more help than there is go give.

Yes, but since she checked into this facility this last time, she's been photographed outside twice both times with cell phone in hand. Once the day after she joined going to an AA meeting, and then the next day picking up clothes from Intuition. If she was in detox there's no way she'd have been able to be out and about so fast.

Celebs these days have new rules for detox. Apparantly working, shopping, leaving the facitilies are all perfectly acceptable for them.

Oh, okay! I didn't know those things (and I can't imagine how I missed them, being such a gossip junkie  )

Re: "'Wreck' Britney has bulimia
One thing I have to say about Britney, she never looked like a skeleton. Always fit and healthy looking (while was a big pop star) and then while she was PG I personally think all bets are off about gaining weight. I think this is fake.
