Common Indicators Of Rumination Syndrome

Nausea

A common symptom in regurgitation syndrome patients is frequent nausea. This type of nausea does not occur during episodes of regurgitation, and it is not the precipitator of such regurgitation. Many factors can explain the relation between frequent nausea and rumination syndrome. Because of the disorder, patients are unable to eat a healthy and regular diet. Often, individuals affected by rumination syndrome will be deficient in one or more essential nutrients. One or more of these deficiencies can result in a speed change of metabolic processes that can cause frequent stomach upset. For individuals who avoid eating because of rumination syndrome, excessive hunger may also be responsible for numerous episodes of nausea. The lack of regular food digestion and its timing can cause the patient to experience low blood glucose levels frequently. Nausea is a common symptom that occurs with hypoglycemia. This disorder can also trick the digestive system into thinking there are not enough enzymes present to digest food. The digestive system may produce an excessive amount of bile and gastric juices in response to this. Excess bile and stomach juices can result in frequent nausea.
