What of these eating disorders involves binging on large amounts of food followed by purging in an attempt to avoid weight gain?
Bulimia is the eating disorder diagnosed by the behavior of binge-purge. Bulimics starve themselves for a time, then binge on huge quantities followed by self-induced vomiting. The acid from their vomiting eventually erodes/eats the enamel on their teeth, their gums and their esophagus. Fatal bleeding can result from this.

What is the opposite of vomited?
The word vomited does not have an exact opposite, but in a certain sense, eating is the opposite of vomiting, since eating involves food entering the stomach and vomiting involves that same food, being expelled from the stomach.
Is bulimia the same as fasting?
not at all. fasting is restriction of food, while bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by binge/purge episodes. that means eating a high amount of calories in a short amount of time, then unnaturally releasing it from your body, either by induced vomiting or abusing laxatives.
Is it possible to have an eating disorder that is not self-induced?
No. Even if another person was physically in charge of feeing you, it would only then be starvation, not a disorder. And while many external pressures can create a psychological distress and distortion, the eating disorder develops through the actions of the one affected, so it is in that sense self induced.
