Controlling weight by purgation and vomiting: a comparative study of bulimics.
Lacey JH, Gibson E.
This study assessed the efficacy of self-induced vomiting and purgation, respectively, in attempts at preventing weight gain in patients with bulimia. It was found that the vomiters ate significantly more yet weighed less: the purgers ate less but weighed significantly more. Such findings strongly suggest that excess purgation has little impact on intestinal absorption even at the doses used in bulimia. Weight control appears to be exercised by dietary restraint not by the pharmacological action of the laxatives used.

Bulimia: multivariate predictors of life impairment.
Johnson CL, Love SQ.
The current study investigated the ability to predict life impairment in a group of women who reported frequent binge eating episodes. Results indicated that a combination of feeling out of control when binge eating, frequent binge episodes, frequent use of laxatives for weight control, plus early age at onset, guilt feelings after binging, and a history of low weight best predicted life impairment. Implications of these findings are discussed with respect to refining DSM-III criteria for bulimia.

Myoelectrical activity and propulsion in the large intestine of fed and fasted rats.
Ferre JP, Ruckebusch Y.
Electrical spiking activity of different parts of the colonic wall was studied in relation to the mechanical events in conscious rats fitted with chronically implanted nichrome wire electrodes and miniaturized strain-gauge transducers. The progress of barium sulphate introduced into the caecum and measured radiographically at fixed intervals was used as an index of transit rate of colonic contents in both the fasted and fed state. The basic pattern of colonic myoelectrical activity was characterized by randomly occurring spike bursts at a higher frequency in the proximal (0.9/min) than the distal colon (0.5/min). Their duration in the fasted state, which was shorter in the proximal (5.5 +/- 1.7 s) than the distal colon (12.7 +/- 2.9 s), was similar following a meal. In the fasted state, integrated records showed cyclical periods of more intense electrical activity lasting about 20 and 40 min in the proximal and the distal colon, respectively. The cyclical pattern following a meal occurred at shorter intervals in the different parts of the colon. Conversely, the propulsion of the marker over the whole colon, which lasted 180-200 min, was accelerated by 30% after feeding. Laxatives disrupted these cyclical motor events on the colon, by inducing mass movements which impeded the pellet formation and increased the rate of transit. The cyclical motor activity was also disrupted following the administration of opiate agonists, the rate of transit being decreased and propulsive activity inhibited. The results are consistent with the concept of cyclical motor pattern playing an important part in the control of pellet formation and movement of digestive contents within the colon of the rat.
