	Rumination (eating disorder) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In some animals, known as ruminants, this is a natural and healthy part of digestion and is not considered an eating disorder.
		Rumination is also associated with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, and can be the result of ones apprehension and nervousness after eating a normal meal.

	Rumination disorder - Definition, Description, Causes and symptoms, Demographics, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prognosis, ...
		Rumination disorder may be diagnosed when a person deliberately brings food back up into the mouth and either rechews and reswallows it or spits it out.

	Rumination Disorder
		Rumination disorder is an eating disorder in which a person -- usually an infant or young child -- brings back up and re-chews partially digested food that has already been swallowed.
		Since most children outgrow rumination disorder, and older children and adults with this disorder tend to be secretive about it out of embarrassment, it is difficult to know exactly how many people are affected.
		Rumination disorder most often occurs in infants and very young children (between 3 and 12 months), and in children with mental retardation.

	Anxiety Zone - Eating disorder
		Eating disorders are a group of mental disorders that interfere with normal food consumption.
		Some experts consider a complaint called orthorexia to be a valid eating disorder - the sufferer is overly obsessed with the consumption of what they see as the 'right' foods for them (vegan, raw foods, etc), to the point where their nutrition and quality of life suffers.
		Another disorder which is somewhat qualitatively different from the foregoing is pica, or the habitual ingestion of inedibles, such as dirt, wood, hair, etc. This has been scientifically proven by numerous university-level studies.

		This subclass of disorders is characterized by gross disturbances in eating behavior; it includes Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Pica, and Rumination Disorder of Infancy.
		Pica and Rumination Disorder of Infancy are primarily disorders of young children and are probably unrelated to Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa.
		A frequent complication of this disorder is that the caretaker becomes discouraged by failure to feed the infant successfully, and then becomes alienated from the child.
