 Rumination Disorder
Based on DSM-5 Rumination Disorder is characterized by
the voluntary or involuntary regulation and re-chewing of
partially digested food that is either re-swallowed or expelled.
This regurgitation appears effortless, may be preceded by a
belching sensation, and typically does not involve retching or
nausea. In rumination, the regurgitate does not taste sour or
bitter.
 Introduction
Rumination syndrome (also known as rumination
disease or merycism) is a feeding and eating disorder
in which an individual's stomach contents return to
his or her mouth undigested (regurgitation).
The nature of Rumination Disorder
Rumination comes from the Latin word ruminate,
which literally means "to chew the cud." Rumination
syndrome was first identified in ancient times and
reported in Aristotle's writings.
