Hemophilia is a rare blood disorder in which the blood will not clot. It is caused by a defective gene and is of two types, A and B.

Most typical binge eaters report feeling a loss of control, as though they can’t stop eating.

And they do it over and over again, even though they wish they could stop. It’s common for them to binge eat for emotional reasons, such as being angry or upset, but one scoop of ice cream becomes a craving for more and more until the refrigerator is empty.
