PG - 340-346 LID - 10.1097/MOG.0000000000000937 [doi] AB - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Rumination syndrome (RS) is a functional gastroduodenal disorder characterized by repeated effortless regurgitation or vomiting of recently ingested food without retching. RS generally has been considered a rare entity. However, it has been increasingly recognized that many RS patients are likely to be underdiagnosed. This review discusses how to recognize and manage RS patients in clinical practice. RECENT FINDINGS: A recent epidemiological study that included over 50,000 individuals found that the prevalence of RS around the world is 3.1%. In patients with proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-refractory reflux symptoms, postprandial high-resolution manometry combined with impedance (HRM/Z) reveals that RS accounts for up to 20% of those cases. HRM/Z can be a gold standard for objective RS diagnosis. In addition, off-PPI 24-h impedance pH monitoring can suggest the possibility of RS when it reveals frequent postprandial, non-acid reflux with a high symptom index. Modulated cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targeting secondary psychological maintaining mechanisms almost eliminates regurgitation. SUMMARY: The prevalence of RS is higher than generally thought. For patients suspected of RS, HRM/Z is useful to distinguish RS from gastroesophageal reflux disease. CBT can be a highly effective therapeutic option.
