Prevention of
Rumination SyndromeThere is no cure for rumination syndrome. However, those who have experienced such a disorder as bulimia nervosa would be wise to take instruction and practice biofeedback and relaxation techniques which can help to strengthen the system and help to prevent regurgitation. These exercises are usually most effective if they are done after you finish eating. Diaphragmatic breathing is another good technique which can help to reverse the problem in people with rumination syndrome who are of normal intelligence. Most infants will grow out of the disorder, which is why they are generally left to their own devices since these prevention techniques would not likely be of value in such fragile persons anyway.
