Rumination disorder (Mericism)

Rumination disorder (Mericism)

Rumination disorder, or rumination disorder, is characterized by the voluntary and repeated regurgitation of food. After being ingested and partially digested, the food is brought back into the mouth, then re-chewed and either spat out or re-swallowed. This behavior is often voluntary and constitutes a particular form of eating disorder.
