Objective: Identifying factors that control food intake is crucial to the understanding and treatment of eating disorders characterized by binge eating. In healthy individuals, stomach distension plays an important role in the development of satiation, but gastric sensations might be overridden in binge eating. The present study investigated the perception of gastric signals (i.e., gastric interoception) and gastric motility in patients experiencing binge-eating episodes, that is, bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge-eating disorder (BED).
Method: Twenty-nine patients with BN or BED (ED group) and 32 age-, sex-, and BMI-matched healthy controls (HC group) participated in the study. The onset of satiation and stomach fullness were assessed using a novel 2-step water load test (WLT-II). Gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA) was measured by electrogastrography (EGG) before and after ingestion of noncaloric water.
Results: Individuals in the ED group drank significantly more water until reporting satiation during the WLT-II. The percentage of normal gastric myoelectrical power was significantly smaller in the ED group compared to HC, and negatively related to the number of objective binge-eating episodes per week in patients with BN or BED. Power in the bradygastria range was greater in ED than in HC participants.
Discussion: Patients with EDs have a delayed response to satiation compared to HC participants, together with abnormal GMA. Repeated binge-eating episodes may induce disturbances to gastric motor function.

Background: Gastric dysmotility and gastric slow wave dysrhythmias have been well documented in patients with diabetes. However, little is known on the effect of hyperglycemia on small intestine motility, such as intestinal slow waves, due to limited options in measuring its activity. Moreover, food intake and digestion process have been reported to alter the small intestine motility in normal rats, but their roles in that of diabetic rats remains unknown.

Background: This study explored the potential of electrogastrography (EGG) and heart rate variability (HRV) as psychophysiological markers in experimental pain research related to the gut-brain axis. We investigated responses to the experience of pain from the visceral (rectal distension) and somatic (cutaneous heat) pain modalities, with a focus on elucidating sex differences in EGG and HRV responses.
Methods: In a sample of healthy volunteers (29 males, 43 females), EGG and ECG data were collected during a baseline and a pain phase.
Association of Dietary Intake with Interoception and Gastric Myoelectric Activity in Women with Binge Eating Disorder and Bulimia Nervosa.

Background: Women with binge eating disorder (BED) and bulimia nervosa (BN) usually consume high-calorie meals with variable macro- and micronutrient compositions and have a disturbed perception of gastric fullness. The association of dietary intake with gastric interoception and gastric myoelectric activity (GMA) is poorly studied. This study examined the link between GMA/interoception and dietary intake in women with eating disorders (ED) compared to age/body mass index (BMI)-matched controls.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated long-term complications in gastric bypass patients, such as nausea and abdominal pain, and their impact on quality of life (QoL), focusing on the residual stomach's activity.
- - Researchers used the Gastric Alimetry® System to assess the gastrointestinal function of patients 46.8 months after surgery, revealing significant post-meal symptoms and noticeably degraded gastric function compared to control groups.
- - Findings indicated that one-third of participants exhibited severe gastrointestinal symptoms and lower QoL, with the remnant stomach showing abnormal electrophysiology that was linked to diminished quality of life, though the study does not confirm a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
