Trisha, this may be a serious health problem - if Alex makes herself throw up
she may be bulimic and that requires medical attention.  It's an eating
disorder and bulimics usually deny they're sick until they are seriously ill
or if they get counselling.  Bobby can give you better advice than I, but I
seriously think you need to get her to a doctor ASAP.
