Abstract

Rumination occurs frequently in children and adolescents with eating disorders, but few studies or case reports consider rumination an associated symptom. Fewer address related treatment issues. The authors describe successful treatment of rumination in a 16-year-old female adolescent using postmeal chewing gum. Rumination should be considered in youngsters with bulimia or anorexia nervosa, and approaches to its treatment should be studied.
