“…Stimulation of the gag reflex and various body movements conducive to regurgitation (e.g., movements of the head and neck) are common, yet not all individuals who ruminate will display overt behavior indicative of rumination (Johnston, 1993). The rate of ruminative behavior also varies across individuals, and specific food characteristics have been found to influence the likelihood that rumination will occur (Johnston, Greene, Vazin, Winston, & Rawal 1990). For example , Johnston, et al (1990) found that rumination tended to increase when foods were of a pureed consistency.…”

Ingestion of foods with high caloric density (Greene, et al, 1991;Rast, Johnston, Ellinger-Allen, & Drum, 1985), favorable hedonic qualities of food (Johnston, 1993), and 1ow rates of oropharyngeal stimulation have also been associated with increased rates of rumination.…”

The Relationship Between Depression and Feeding Disorder Symptoms Among Persons with Severe and Profound Mental Retardation

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, feeding disorders have been described in detail, and various assessment and treatment methods for these disorders have been reported. Within the literature, an emphasis has been placed on functional variables responsible for the onset and maintenance of feeding disorders, yet little has been reported on the relationship between feeding disorders and other forms of psychopathology. Therefore, the relationship between depression and feeding disorders was assessed. Three groups of individuals were compared across subscales and individual items on the Screening Tool for fEeding Problems (STEP) to assess for differences in problematic feeding behavior. Individuals who met diagnostic criteria for a mood disorder characterized by clinically significant symptoms of depression (n = 18), met DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (n = 18), and those without a DSM-IV Axis I diagnosis (n = 18) were included in the study. Significant differences were found across diagnostic groups for STEP subscales and/or items representative of aspiration risk, food refusal, and nutrition related behavior problems. Feeding disorders varied across diagnostic categorization, and underscore the need for further research that assesses the relationship between feeding disorders and other forms of psychopathology.

“…These dietary manipulations include changing food consistency (Barton & Barton, 1985;Johnston et al, 1990); increasing caloric intake Johnston et al, 1991); and increasing food quantity (Jackson, Johnson, Ackron, & Crowley, 1975;Johnston & Greene, 1992;Lobato et al, 1986;Rast, Ellinger-Allen, & Johnston, 1985).…”

A starchy food satiation procedure was evaluated in an ABAB withdrawal design on the post-meal rumination of a nine-year-old girl with autism. During treatment unlimited quantities of starchy foods were provided following each meal. High rates of rumination occurred during baseline conditions, followed by an immediate decrease in rumination during treatment. Rumination decreased to 82 and 97% of baseline during the ®rst and second treatment conditions, respectively. In addition, follow-up probes were conducted at irregular intervals for 4 years following treatment, during which zero or nearzero rates of rumination were sustained. This study extends the literature on the functional relation between increased starchy food quantity and rumination in adults to rumination with a young child, and demonstrates maintenance of the treatment effect for 4 years.

“…Johnston et al (1990) differentiate between vomiting, which involves a large amount of material leaving the mouth, and rumination, which is a relatively small amount of material being regurgitated, chewed, and reingested. In humans, rumination and intentional vomiting occur in developmentally disabled persons, infants, and bulimic individuals and are a concern in terms of negative social and medical consequences (Ball et al, 1974;Mazzeo et al, 2003;Rast et al, 1985).…”

Vomiting in Wild Bonnet Macaques

2007

Researchers have not studied vomiting that is not associated with pathological behavior in nonhuman primates. Scientists generally assume that vomiting provides protection by ejecting toxins from the body, but the explanation is not fully supported by the literature. We report on 163 instances of vomiting from 2 groups of free-ranging bonnet macaques in southern India. The macaques routinely reingested their vomit. The reingestion was unlike that in abnormal behavior of both humans and nonhuman primates. We suggest that the tendency to hoard food in their cheek pouches explains why they reingested the vomit.
