Regurgitation from the stomach or esophagus is a less forcible action than vomiting, and in relation to babies it is often simply called \u201cspitting up.\u201d A rare related eating disorder is rumination disorder of infancy.Return of swallowed food into the mouth.The reflux of small amounts of food and acid back into the mouth.The forceful, involuntary ejection of stomach or esophageal contents through the mouth. The backflow of blood through a defective heart valve is also known as regurgitation.The bringing up of undigested material from the stomach to the mouth.In diseases of the heart, this is used to indicate a condition in which, as the result of valvular disease, the blood does not entirely pass on from the atria of the heart to the ventricles, or from the ventricles into the arteries. The defective valve is said to be incompetent, and a certain amount of blood leaks past it, or regurgitates back, into the cavity from which it has been driven.A backward flowing, as in the return of solids or fluids to the mouth from the stomach or the backflow of blood through a defective heart valve.Regurgitation, a term commonly used in reference to the regressive movement of swallowed food, signifies the act of substances being forcefully thrown or poured back into the throat and subsequently into the mouth.The retrograde movement of fluid. In the medical context, this term is frequently employed to depict the regurgitation of ingested food or liquids from the stomach into the esophagus and mouth. Additionally, the term is utilized to characterize the reverse flow of blood through a heart valve that fails to close completely due to a condition like mitral incompetence.The reverse flow of blood caused by a malfunctioning heart valve.The regurgitation of food from the stomach to the mouth shortly after eating, occurring without the usual forceful action of vomiting."}
