A rumination disorder is the act of regurgitating and then reswallowing previously digested food. Even though it is rare, it usually affects infants between the ages of 3 and 12 months and is seen most often in children who are cognitively challenged.
Rumination disorder is not associated with cardiac, respiratory, or urinary tract problems.
