Yolanda's symptoms of "chewing and spitting" suggest that she may be experiencing rumination disorder, which involves the repeated regurgitation and re-chewing of food without swallowing. While anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa also involve disordered eating patterns, they do not typically involve "chewing and spitting." Restrictive eating disorder is not a formal diagnosis in the DSM-5.
