Is this a compulsive act? In other words, would cognitive therapy help you stop this behavior?

Maybe it would help for people that do it involuntarily. Thats the only form of therapy to rid of this "behavior".

But since I'm enjoying doing it, I'd not consider doing that. Imagine you could eat your favorite food over and over again with almost the same taste as the first time you were eating it. Also there is no acid when I ruminate.. So no burning or whatsoever

However, since it is semi-voluntarily, I do have to force myself not ruminating when I'm around other people.

Is this something one could learn to do?

I don't know. I think its genetics.

My father, grandmother (father side) as well as my aunt (fathers side) have it too.

So you swallow it again? I have something like this happen to me occasionally, and I have never swallowed it again. I just always figured I ate something my body just wanted nothing to do with, but I suppose it could also be a bit like this.

Check up r/ruminatingsyndrome This syndrome is very unknown to the public. Many people confuse it with acid reflux

No, I don't get acid reflux. The part where it sits for a while does nothing and has to come back up like I just chewed it. It is really rare for me, so I never really worried about it much and probably still won't.

If you were to eat food that didn’t agree with you (possible food poisoning), would you ruminate that affected food, or would you involuntarily vomit?

I usually ruminate very early on if I ate food that my stomach could not handle or disliked
