How Do You Spell BOULIMY?
Pronunciation: [bˈuːlɪmi] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the word is bulimia /bjuːˈlɪmiə/. The word comes from the Greek word "boulē" meaning "will" and "mia" meaning "hunger". It is a disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging or other compensatory behaviors. The incorrect spelling of "boulimy" may be due to confusion with the French word "boulimie", which also means bulimia but is spelled differently. It is important to use the correct spelling to properly identify and treat this serious disorder.
