Person eats, swallows, and then regurgitates food back into the mouth where it is chewed and swallowed again.
Process may be repeated several times or for several hours per episode.
Rumination may be voluntary or involuntary.
Ruminators report that regurgitated material does not taste bitter, and that it is returned to the mouth with a gentle burp, not violent gagging or retching -- not even nausea.
