10 Common Eating Disorders
Common Eating Disorder #6: Rumination
Cows, goats, sheep and some other animals fall into the ruminant category of animals. One thing that makes these stand out from other animals is their quite unique digestive systems and the fact that they regurgitate their food to chew it again. This is known as chewing the cud, and some people are known to do it as well.
Rumination occurs mostly in children but also sometimes in adults. Even hours after eating a meal, it can be bought back up and chewed again. It is thought that it could be triggered by stress or by other eating disorders, although not much is yet known about the condition.
