(3)

Founded in 1992 United European Gastroenterology (UEG) is the leading non-profit organisation for excellence in digestive health in Europe and beyond with its headquarters in Vienna. We improve the prevention and care of digestive diseases in Europe through providing top tier education, supporting research and advancing clinical standards. As Europe’s home and umbrella for multidisciplinary gastro

enterology, we unite over 50,000 engaged professionals from national and specialist societies, individual digestive health experts and related scientists from all fields and career stages. The myUEG Community enables digestive health professionals from across the globe to become myUEG Associates and thereby connect, network and benefit from a wide range of free resources and educational activities. Our offers include our annual congress UEG Week, online and face-to-face educational experiences, research support, a scientific journal and a range of opportunities in the form of fellowships and grants. We provide numerous guidelines, standards and quality improvement initiatives and campaign at the European level to ensure continued resources for research into digestive health while working closely with patient organisations.

Did you know that rumination syndrome affects around 3% of adults worldwide, with middle-aged women showing the highest prevalence?

Unlike vomiting, regurgitation in RS is effortless and occurs within minutes of eating. It is driven by a specific physiological mechanism: a habitual postprandial contraction of the abdominal wall raises intragastric pressure, overcomes the lower oesophageal sphincter, and forces gastric contents upward. Over time, this abdominothoracic response becomes a conditioned, habitual pattern.

Understanding the mechanism is the first step toward getting the diagnosis right.
