The ICD 10 is similar to the DSM 5, you cannot be diagnosed with bulimia while meeting the weight criteria for anorexia, (either a BMI less than 17.5 or less than 85% of expected body weight or in adolescents, less than the 5% percentile for age and height) .In that situation, it's also anorexia, binge-purge subtype.
