While her fans hold their collective breath hoping that rehabilitation secures a new path for Britney Spears a new report from Star Magazine claims the former superstar performer is battling a very serious new problem. Star reports that Britney is battling bulimia. The weekly entertainment magazine cites sources that say that efforts to treat Britney have been complicated by the discovery of a second disease – bulimia.

"She has been making herself throw up while at the rehab center," an insider tells the magazine. "She is on medication for bipolar disorder, but the pills are not staying in her system because she is bulimic and is throwing them up before they can help her! Among the questions asked at Promises was ‘Do you feel insecure about your body? Do you often throw up after eating?" said a source familiar with the program. “Britney answered ‘yes’ to both questions, and said she had been throwing up since she was 16.”

The report notes that Britney’s months of all-night partying came to an end when she checked herself into Promises Rehabilitation Center on Feb. 21, but a source says that two days after she entered the program, “Brit was at her lowest point” and tried to commit suicide with her bed sheets.
The only comforting news amidst all of this nightmarish behavior is that with the star installed at Promises (for now, at least), she and her loved ones are finally starting to understand the medical problems before her meltdown. And they’re learning that, as first reported by Star, the main problem is likely bipolar disorder.
