Binge eaters do not necessarily throw up afterwards, however that may be an unintended consequence of eating a huge quantity. Bulimic's actually do try and make themselves throw up, and may do so after a normal sized meal rather than just after a period of binge eating.

What is The main difference between BED and Bulimia?

The main difference between Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and Bulimia Nervosa lies in the behavior following binge episodes. Individuals with BED engage in recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food without compensatory behaviors, such as purging or excessive exercise. In contrast, those with Bulimia often engage in these compensatory behaviors to prevent weight gain after binge eating. Additionally, BED is characterized by feelings of distress and loss of control during binge episodes, while Bulimia typically includes a focus on body image and weight control.
