Rumination Disorder is a
rare eating disorder characterized by the repeated regurgitation and re-chewing
of food that has already been swallowed, followed by either re-swallowing or
spitting out the food. Unlike vomiting, which is typically associated with
nausea or the expulsion of food from the stomach, rumination involves the
voluntary regurgitation of food from the esophagus or upper gastrointestinal
tract shortly after ingestion.
Rumination disorder can
have serious physical and psychological consequences, including malnutrition,
dehydration, dental problems, social isolation, and impaired quality of life.
Treatment for rumination disorder typically involves a multidisciplinary
approach, including behavioural therapy, nutritional counselling, medication
management, and supportive interventions to address underlying psychological
issues.
Early intervention is crucial
in the treatment of rumination disorder to prevent long-term complications
and improve overall well-being. Individuals experiencing symptoms of rumination
disorder should seek evaluation and treatment from a healthcare professional
who can provide appropriate support and guidance.
