Rumination-Regurgitation Disorder

Rumination-Regurgitation Disorder can involve repeated regurgitation of food that is not better explained by another medical condition or another eating disorder. This detailed Support Hub resource goes beyond a short overview and helps the reader understand what the difficulty may feel like from the inside as well as the behaviours other people may notice.

The guide explores possible underlying and maintaining factors, emotional and social effects, warning signs, physical health and medical safety, treatment, recovery, relapse prevention and practical ways of supporting somebody without shame or judgement.

It includes two full reflective diary pages, now set out in clear full-width sections so they are easy to read and use on phones, tablets and computers. The diary explores feelings, eating situations, thoughts and rules, urges and behaviours, underlying needs, what helped, what made things harder and what support may be needed next.

The resource also includes a detailed Recipe for Calm After Eating, using Ingredients, Method, Chef's Notes and Serving Suggestions to turn recovery ideas into manageable everyday steps.

The guide finishes with books, UK support resources, clinical references and a personal message from Maggie. It is designed to be read at the reader's own pace and returned to whenever information, reflection or support is needed.
