You have to sit him down and talk to him. Ask him if he doesn’t have enough to eat.

Find out the underlying problem. Is he being bullied at school, is he not doing too well at his studies. What is worrying him that he has taken this way out.

Take him to a doctor and have a complete physical done He may have a chemicial inbalance Once the blood work and tests are done you and your doctor can come up with a plan of treatment

Counselling is a definate option; talking to your son is another. And definately starting with his doctor. Ask your son how he feels before he binge eats or takes food. Maybe there is something physically wrong and he can’t control the craving for food. Maybe he is depressed or very anxious and uses food as a coping mechanism. When you know the things that trigger him (unless it’s physical) you can help him at those times. Maybe get him involved in things that interest him, put aside some money to save for something he’d really like to do..if he takes the money then the thing can’t happen. If he doesn’t, he’s learning responsibility for money. Above all, find out what is wrong and let him know there is help on hand. Best of luck
