I don't have any direct experience with bulimia, either, but I do know that there are a couple of medications that sometimes help. Metoclopramide is the most used these days, to help improve gastric motility. Cisapride is the better drug for it, but that's much less often used, because it can cause some cardiac problems.
And I think it's well worth checking into support groups and therapy in your area, to help deal with the whole, "I did this to myself" thing. Here's the thing: you were sick. Would you blame yourself for Type I diabetes? After all, it would be your pancreas that wasn't working well. Same difference. You were sick, now you're working at getting better. I think focussing on that would help a lot.
Good luck.
