The correct answer is Symptoms include purging

Step-by-step explanation:

Both bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder are medical conditions categorized as eating disorders. In this patients have unhealthy eating habits that can lead to severe consequences. In the case of bulimia, people go through episodes of excessive eating (binge eating) and these are followed by purging, which includes excessive exercise, inducing vomit, among others as people regret binge eating and want to avoid gaining weight. Similarly, in binge eating disorder people goes through an episode of excessive eating but these are not followed by purging. Indeed, purging is not considered a symptom of this condition.
