Possible eating disorder

[dilly123]

Looking for any advice please?..
DD is 15 seemingly in a happy place, lovely boyfriend, good friends & not showing signs of being stressed about her up & coming GCSE's..
One evening last week I was cleaning the bathroom after her shower & noticed she had been sick in it.. I asked her if she'd been sick & she said yes a little, calm conversation nothing to raise suspicion, tonight I was just outside the bathroom while she was again taking a shower & I think I heard her being sick again. I have not yet said anything as I don't want to cause a drama & quite honestly I don't really know how to deal with this.
Both times was after dinner but she definitely doesn't do it after every meal (I will keep an eye on that though).. she is of average weight for her height & is not a girl who talks at all of feeling overweight nor is over concerned with her appearance doesn't wear makeup & dresses very casually.
I really don't think she is binge eating as apart from food indoors she has no access during the day to shops.. (school bus from village to school & back, they're not allowed out at lunchtime) .. I will on Monday when I get a chance look in her bedroom for any evidence of binges. She doesn't appear to be losing weight, home life is relatively stable.. I'm a LP she has half sibling at home not a fantastic relationship with her dad but hasn't shown signs of this bothering her too much??

I guess what I'm asking for is if you have any experience in this matter are there any signs I should be looking out for? What were your or your child's triggers? Should I confront her now or wait until I can check her bedroom?

Thank you in advance

I'm kind of a fan of direct approaches.
"I know this will sound crazy, but I thought I heard you being sick earlier. And then I thought I saw some sick in the bathroom. I sure had to clean up something that looked just like someone's sick."

You'll know right there if she's frozen at your words or relaxed & just listening. People with active EDs like to think they hide them.

If no confirmation, would proceed with "You would tell me if things were so upsetting in your life that you felt like being sick after meals was a solution, wouldn't you?"

The more defensive she is, the more likely there's a real problem. A kid with nothing to hide will act like you're a funny deluded adult .

I wouldn't call it a confrontation. Put the possible problem out in the light to see if it's real.

Thank you @lljkk

Reading my post back it is all I think she she's ok & assuming she has no problems feel like a terrible mum now but I can remember being a very secretive teenager. We do have a good open relationship though so I'm fairly certain I'd know if something was bothering her so much it was affecting her mental health.. I'm just so scared though.

why were you a secretive teen?

Would she tell you that she snogged a boy she only just met at a party? That's a decent acid test for how open the relationship is.
