Doing a project on Eating Disorders, help Please.?

I am doing a project on bulimia nervosa, and one thing i am wondering is what kinds of laxatives bulimics use when they eat? Any information on this and how it is done would be great as i know about the binging and purging ways they eat then throw up, but like I said I am looking on what laxatives they use and how they use it, and why they would want to do something like this to their body? Any help is appriciated.

Personally, my preferred brand of laxatives was Dulcolax. People will use whatever they can get their hands on, though.
I never took the recommended dosage (2-3 pills), not even when I started. When I started I would take 5 pills, then I'd binge. After a while my body got used to that amount so I upped it to 10. Then 15.
You are able to know when your body gets used to the amount being taken, because as time goes on you start getting more painful cramps, more often. Plus, you'll start getting less of a result (as in the amount of "stuff" that comes out decreases.)
The laxatives don't do anything to get rid of the calories ingested and I knew that when I was taking them. (I ended up gaining over 25 lb because of that.) I kept taking them, because I loved the empty feeling it would leave. I didn't want anything "dirty" inside of me and the laxatives "helped" with that.

(I'm sorry if whatever I wrote doesn't make any sense. My brain's a little off today. ^-^)

Bulimics will use anything that is a laxative. Many do this along with purging. The worst thing is many will take an overdose of the medication. If you are asking why they do this, every case is different. Studies have shown they have an extremely low self image and think they are fat. Some do this to be in control of something in their lives. Try www.eatingdisorders.com. I saw a lot of information there on many sites actually. Also, you can call your local health department and ask them for any information they may have for your area on the subject. Then you can show, it happens every where.

There are various brands of laxative that bulimics will use. The most dangerous medication that is sometimes used by those with eating disorders is syrup of ipecac, which can result instantly in death. bulimics feel the need to binge and purge for a variety of reasons, but some common causes are:
-low self-esteem
-distorted body image
-difficulty with relationships
-trauma or abuse
-societal pressure
