  • Psychosomatic Medicine

Background:

  • Rumination syndrome is characterized by repetitive regurgitation of food.
  • It affects infants, individuals with intellectual disabilities, and adults with normal intelligence.

Observation:

  • The condition is underrecognized in adults, often misdiagnosed as gastroparesis or gastroesophageal reflux.
  • Lack of physician awareness contributes to diagnostic challenges.

Findings:

  • Rumination syndrome presents with regurgitation, vomiting, and weight loss.
