However, there are people who go through this experience regularly without any control. They are said to suffer from Binge eating disorder.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Binge Eating Disorder?<\/h2>\n<p>Binge eating disorder is a condition where the person eats a large amount of food in a relatively short period of time and feels a loss of control while eating. This disorder differs from the other eating disorders in the fact that people who binge eat do not induce vomiting or over-exercise after they have eaten. The reasons for binge eating may vary from genetic causes to social, emotional and environmental factors.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the signs of Binge Eating Disorder?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Eating frequently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Binge eaters are repeatedly involved in episodes where they eat large amounts of food in short spans of time. In these episodes, they feel a sense of loss of control and are not able to stop eating even if they earnestly want to. These episodes occur at least once a week for 3 months, on an average.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eating continuously<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Binge eaters have certain eating habits like eating very quickly, eating beyond the point of fullness, eating even when there is no hunger and eating to a point of discomfort<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eating to cope<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Binge eating is closely associated with emotions, both before and after the eating episode. Feelings of anger, stress, boredom or depression may trigger an episode. Food often serves as a coping mechanism. Also, a person with a binge eating disorder often feels guilty after their binge eating episode.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eating secretively<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because they feel guilty, binge eaters often eat in secrecy and eat alone.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the warning signs of Binge eating disorder?<\/h2>\n<p>If a friend or family member displays any of the below signs, he or she may be suffering from binge eating disorder. These signs are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Constant complaints of being bloated or constipated<\/li>\n<li>Being tired constantly and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.askdrshah.com\/app\/sleeplessness\/sleeplessness.aspx\">not sleeping well<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Being pre-occupied or being dissatisfied or more sensitive to remarks about body shape, weight, food or eating<\/li>\n<li>Feeling guilt, sadness or anxiety after a binge-eating episode<\/li>\n<li>Hiding food \/ food wrappers in the house or hoarding food or spending large amounts of money on food<\/li>\n<li>Staying isolated or withdrawing from activities that one previously enjoyed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over a period of time, binge eating leads to obesity which becomes a major risk factor for further conditions like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.askdrshah.com\/hypertension.aspx\">high blood pressure<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.askdrshah.com\/osteoarthritis.aspx\">osteoarthritis<\/a>, heart disease, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.askdrshah.com\/sleep-apnea-syndrome.aspx\">sleep apnea<\/a>, gall bladder diseases, certain cancers etc.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, if you or your loved one is suffering from binge eating disorder, do get in touch with a doctor today.
