In this study we precise eating and non specific symptomatology of 56 patients with DSM III bulimia syndrome. Results confirm our first hypotheses, particularly the distinction between sweety and salty bulimia and the heterogeneity of patients with this syndrome. We specially studied two types of clinical dimensions: emotional components and weight status. According to emotional profile, bulimics differ from other psychopathologic populations and present some particular features. Impulsivity is a characteristic of sweety bulimics, dysphoria and affective lability characterise salty ones.

Potential abnormalities of taste were examined in bulimic subjects who purged by vomiting and in controls. When spatial testing of the tongue and palate was performed by direct local application of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter solutions, bulimics showed a selective spatial loss on the palate. The palate may be affected by purging because vomit is directed toward the roof of the mouth where the palate receptors are located.
