According to reports, Britney Spears has told doctors at her rehab clinic that she's been bulimic since she was 16 years old, only overcoming the disorder for two limited periods - the duration of her recent pregnancies. The truth apparently came out because she was not actually digesting the medication she's been prescribed at the Promises Centre in Malibu.
A 'source' told the Daily Express: "Doctors are alarmed at the physical state she is in. They confronted her about her desperately unhealthy lifestyle and the truth came pouring out. 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".
