Rumination disorder
ROME 4 criteria for urminatinos disorder
○ Persistent or recurrent regurgitation of recently infested food into the mouth with subsequent spitting or mastication and swallowing
○ Regurgitation is not preceded by retching
○ Clinical features not required but supportive of rumination syndrome: effortless regurgitation not preceded by nausea, recognizable food that may have a pleasant taste, cessation of rumination when material becomes acidic
○ Should not occur during sleep (peds)
Should not respond to standard medical therapy for reflux (peds)
