In my opinion i don't think its a heredity per say it to me is ...a child watches the way the parent is...so they learn year after year. She has seen what her Mom does and so by watching maybe she has learned how to deal with things the same way...I would ask your daughter if she is having any issues about the way she deals with things maybe she will open up to you...If you think she is being bulimic you could always check her teeth with a dentist they can tell if she has been bulimic by the way her enamel on her teeth is....hope this helps good luck...

Not always, but yes, it can be. It's very likely that a daughter would inherit this disorder if you suspect bulimic symptoms.

---

If your wife has OCD or a mental disorder that causes her to be obsessed with her appearance, that can be hereditary. I would seek counseling if you suspect your daughter has bulemia.

no its not...

its more of a psychological illness.. so it has nothing to do with genes..

---

No bulimia is not hereditary, it is a eating disorder.

Try a psychiatrist, and look into what gave you the impression thin or fat is good?

---

No i do not beleve bulimia is hereditary.I beleve it is psycholigical...
