BED is not that rare as far as I'm aware. Up to 4% of Americans suffer from binge eating disorder.

It is great that your boyfriend is getting help from his school's counselor. Since you have also had an eating disorder, it may be helpful to look at it this way- he needs the same kindness and understanding that you have needed while you were restricting. I'm not quite sure what else you can do besides being supportive of him, even through his slip ups and bad days. Let him know that you love him and want to see him get better.
