A plastic hose, through the mouth, esophagus, inserted into the stomach, stimulates the user to vomit through a foreign body, and finally achieves the purpose of weight loss. After the vomiting behavior was exposed by the media, the vomiting supplies have been removed from the e-commerce platform and the "vomiting bar" has been blocked. But in order to hide their eyes, these vomit-inducing parties, who once called themselves "rabbits", began to disguise themselves, replacing sensitive words with code words and abbreviations, and were still active on the Internet. Food-grade, pharmaceutical-grade silicone tubes or PVC tubes are still available for homemade emetic tubes. Medical expert Xu Wei said that vomiting is a manifestation of anorexia, and people who often induce vomiting will eventually form a habit, without hand cutting, nor with props, they can naturally vomit, which is extremely harmful to the body.
After eating, various methods are used to force yourself to vomit, and such a weight loss method is called "emetic weight loss method". Although it is obviously harmful to health, vomiting has always been an "undercurrent" in the weight loss circle, and even derived products such as "emetic tubes".
Recently, CCTV and other media have been continuously exposed, and vomiting has become an important means for some young people and even minors to lose weight and maintain their figure. After being watched by the media and the public, the vomit-inducing parties seem to be hiding. Where are they hiding? Has the vomiting habit really disappeared?
<h1>undercurrent</h1>
<h1>Vomiting crowds hide in online forums</h1>
Rabbit, priming, brushing, ct, sd, zr, gz... What are these? These are all code words related to vomiting.
Before being continuously exposed by the media, the vomiting party on the Internet platform can be openly communicated. In particular, Baidu's "vomiting bar" gathered a lot of vomiting parties, and they talked about various vomiting experiences in Tieba bar. After being exposed, "vomiting bar" was blocked, and the search results were "Sorry, according to relevant laws, regulations and policies, the relevant results will not be displayed.". However, you will see a lot of vomiting parties asking questions on the platform - "Where did the vomiting bar go?" The reporter understands that this post bar has been briefly transferred to "acquaintance with the rabbit bar" - spit and rabbit harmony, so the vomiting crowd also calls themselves rabbits.
After that, the "rabbit bar" was blocked, and the vomiting party moved to the more covert "trip bar". Tripping, it seems to have nothing to do with vomiting, but there are a lot of vomiting parties concentrated in this post bar. In order to hide their eyes, these vomiting parties, which once called themselves "rabbits", began to replace sensitive words with various code words and abbreviations.
The reporter pretended to be a newcomer, and after many times of communication, he understood some of the code words. For example, "ct" is emetic, "sd" is manual emetic, "zr" is natural emetic, and "gz" is a tube. The so-called "bottoming" is to eat easy to chew up food in the stomach first; "brushing water" is to spit out food, pour water and then spit it out, in order to seek the effect of spitting clean.
In the "trip bar", the reporter saw a lot of experience exchanges in vomiting and brushing water. Among them, there are many vomiting diaries written by middle school students. "Connect the tap with the emetic tube, the water rushes into the stomach, spits it out, and brushes the water to brush it clean." This kind of sentence, which seems shocking to others, is lighthearted and natural in the depiction of the vomiting party. Because of the long-term emetic, some emetics have weighed only more than 30 kilograms, and the teeth are also seriously corroded and fall off due to stomach acid irritation. But they still enjoy it. Some people even suffer because the tap water pressure at home is too small, resulting in unclean brushes.
Among them, there are also a few "former rabbits" who have left the vomiting habit and returned to the "trip bar" to post and share the experience of "getting out of the pit". It can be seen from the reply that some vomiting parties also want to return to normal life.
<h1>Buying and selling</h1>
<h1>Three no emetics incarnate "primary agricultural products"</h1>
Vomiting tubes, rabbit tubes, fairy sticks... It's all different variations of the same thing. The vomiting party uses this plastic hose through the mouth, esophagus, and into the stomach to stimulate through foreign bodies to achieve the effect of inducing vomiting. Now, searching for these keywords on the e-commerce platform, there are no related products. However, it can be seen from the communication of the vomiting crowd that such goods can still be bought, and the vomiting party is secretive about the way to buy.
In the "trip bar", there are constantly new people asking where to buy emetic tubes, of course, using "g" or "gz" to refer to tubes and tubes. The reporter learned that because of the ban on the e-commerce platform on the emetic tube, many emetic parties have begun to make their own emetic tubes. They use food-grade, pharmaceutical-grade silicone tubes or PVC tubes as raw materials to make emetic tubes suitable for entrance. They are even exchanging production experiences, how to make it smoother, and avoid harming the esophagus.
On the e-commerce platform, this silicone and PVC tube can be easily found, and the price is not expensive. The reporter asked several store sellers, they never mentioned the emetic tube, but emphasized that the products sold are food-grade, pharmaceutical-grade, safe, non-toxic and tasteless.
In addition, there are vomiting parties that use drugs to induce vomiting. There are hundreds of emetic drugs on the e-commerce platform, including domestic drugs, as well as drugs that are known as original imports, and some stores have thousands of transactions. Most of the domestic emetics are sold in the name of "primary agricultural products". In the product introduction, many emetics are emphasizing the effect of taking - "anti-bulimia to suppress appetite". One store prompted on its page that "Due to the implementation of the Advertising Law, the specific efficacy of our products is not described in this detail page... You can find out through Baidu search product keywords." Some stores state that "brand, manufacturer, implementation standard and QS/SC cannot be labeled". Obviously, it is not allowed to sell "three no products", but almost all stores will clearly ask "those who mind do not shoot, to the middle and bad reviewers, please detour." ”
The reporter looked up a lot of reviews, found a bad review, this customer detailed the feeling after taking the drug, "stomach, vomiting" "this life does not want to have that feeling again", and suggested that everyone do not buy, the result is that under this comment, the direct end of the "treasurer" "tear back" customer "full of support to give bad reviews."
Many emetic pages have hundreds of positive reviews, but after clicking into the comment link, I found that there was another clean. Although many buyers give "praise", but the content is full of screens similar to "uncomfortable, too uncomfortable" "really will vomit to death, the rest of the resolute thrown, do not eat" "pain is sweaty hands trembling, you don't try"... But under these "don't buy" advice posts, there are still people who leave messages to try. Their only purpose is to lose weight, and even some people still have the expectation that "if they will lose weight, they will patronize it" after complaining about "vomiting for two days without eating".
<h1>harm</h1>
<h1>There are vomiters whose teeth are all corroded</h1>
"These people who use external stimuli to induce vomiting are still hovering at the 'low level'. I have been exposed to severe cases where someone can control vomiting at will. When you want to throw up, go to the bathroom, a little thought, you can spit out the perfect arc of 'rainbow', accurately spit into the toilet. Xu Wei, an expert at Anxin Clinic, was once the chief physician of the Chaoyang District Mental Disease Prevention and Control Center, and has been exposed to a large number of vomiting inducers in his career, many of whom are teenagers.
Vomiting is often a manifestation of anorexia, which is a type of eating disorder. Common eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, and even excessive obesity. Xu Wei introduced that people who often induce vomiting will eventually form a habit, without hand cutting, nor props, they can naturally vomit.
"Of course, this kind of vomiting is very harmful to the body." Women make up the majority of anorexia, and these women usually suffer from multiple system injuries such as amenorrhea, atrophy of the skin and mucous membranes, and sagging stomach. Moreover, people who often induce vomiting will have a significant feature - severe corrosion of teeth. "I've seen cases where all my teeth have gone out."
Xu Wei also found that people who often induce vomiting generally have perfectionism and high sensitivity tendencies, and some people are very concerned about the calorie content of food and know it well.
As for why the vomiting party likes to hide, Xu Wei said that in addition to facilitating secret communication, usually anorexia patients have a rejection psychology, "not only refuse food, but also refuse to pay attention to and refuse treatment." They will privately seek out their kind to gather, but refuse to intervene from parents and doctors. "If you reach the level of severe anorexia, the situation will go to extremes." The case fatality rate is very high, reaching 20 to 30 percent. ”
<h1>intervene</h1>
<h1>Eating disorders cannot be achieved thanks to "weight loss</h1>."
Xu Wei introduced that the appearance of anorexia in the adolescent stage is sometimes a defensive behavior caused by patients coping with social changes. As you grow, the problem may ease. If it continues, it is a pathological phenomenon that requires parents to pay attention to observation.
In addition to vomiting, there are some signs that can be associated with anorexia. For example, wasting, body mass index BMI - weight (kg) divided by the square of height (meters) - generally BMI below 17.5, it may be anorexia. In addition, among patients with anorexia, women account for the vast majority, and a small number of male patients also have more feminine characteristics.
Another important feature is that some of the people with anorexia have trauma or come from troubled families. The most difficult to treat in this category is also the one with poor prognosis. Xu Wei said that everyone responds to income generation and stress in different ways. "In the adolescent stage, girls are generally more intrinsic expressions, and anorexia and bulimia belong to this category. Boys are more outgoing and often have some character disorders, such as destruction, violence, etc. Xu Wei frankly said that the public generally believes that aesthetics and thinness as beauty have led to eating disorders. But in fact, a closer look at the cases will reveal that many people with severe anorexia are caused by trauma or stress.
Xu Wei suggested that if adolescents are found to have serious anorexia tendencies, parents need to work closely with professional medical institutions, "Parents look for it, is it the reason for the family?" Has it caused psychological trauma to adolescents? Finding the source of the trauma is conducive to completely solving the problem of anorexia. ”
