I don't see any diagrams that show where in the throat they stick their finger, but they just put it in the back of their throat.

what do you mean what part of the mouth? they just stick there finger or any object, as far down their throat as possible, the gag reflex makes you vomit.
i highly doubt there is anywhere to find a diagram.

u know that little sac at the back of your throat, they stick their finger way back there to it. that is the gag reflex. but over time they don't even have to do that, it comes naturally , which is what makes it really bad and hard to stop

well i do know that salt water, as well as bicarbonate powder in water, induce vomiting. and i'm not quite sure bout this but possibly milk and egg whites?

My daughter still battles with this disease.;In the beginning she put her fingers as far back in the center of her mouth as she could. After a while the gagging reflex was so easily triggered that she started leaving bite marks on the back of her hand from gagging herself. By the time she had been doing it a year, she could gag herself just using her tongue.

The medical problems that it brought on will last her a lifetime. She got pregnant and had a healthy little boy but got pregnant again right after the birth of her son. Because of the toll on her body from her teen years and the previous pregnancy, her daughter was born two months early and has had a host of medical problems. She has gone back to her anorexia bulimic behavior and I am raising her children. I have had her son since he was 3 months old and her daughter since she came home from the NICU.

I was bulimic for years and not once did I use my finger. I'm not going to go into detail because it's a nasty, deadly disorder that's easy to get sucked into, but you'd be surprised how bulimics/anorexics make themselves throw up. Many can vomit on command without the use of their finger or whatever else.
