“…When comparing the results for 'eat more' and 'reduced eating', it is evident that a higher proportion of NVP women reported they reduced their intake of protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, and eggs. This finding supports other studies reporting on NVP and diet (7,20,23,24).…”

“…Elsewhere it has been found that a diet high in carbohydrates may aggravate gastric dysrhythmias when compared to high protein diets, which can lead to nausea, suggesting that women suffering NVP may potentially be exasperating their condition by virtue of their dietary choices (19). Popularly craved carbohydrate foods among pregnant women in general tend to include biscuits, sweet foods, and soft drinks (12,20,21), yet the list also includes protein-rich foods such as meat, milk, cheese, and eggs (2,7,18,21). Meat is a food item found to be both 'eaten more' of and 'eaten less' of by the NVP women in this study.…”

Objective: Examine responses given to questions addressing whether pregnancy had caused women with nausea and vomiting (NVP) or symptom-free (SF) to alter their food habits in the first trimester in order to better understand the dietary changes taking place in women with NVP. Method: Using questions featured in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) specifically asking participants about alterations in diet and episodes of nausea and vomiting. The final sample used included 30,072 women. Results: We found 46% with no symptoms of nausea and/or vomiting in pregnancy, whilst 54% reported both nausea and vomiting. The NVP group of women were the group most affected with changes in food consumption, having the lowest proportion reporting to eat as before pregnancy, as well as the highest proportion reporting 'eating more' and 'reduced eating'. The SF group reported eating more than NVP group in one instance, that being for chocolate (SF 17.7% vs NVP 16.3%). Conclusion:We have shown a higher degree of dietary change in women with NVP compared to SF women. We also found chocolate as the only exception, with a higher proportion of SF women eating more of this food item.This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Nausea and vomiting are amongst the most common symptoms encountered in medicine as either symptoms of diseases or side effects of treatments. In a more biological setting they are also important components of an organism's defences against ingested toxins. Identification of treatments for nausea and vomiting and reduction of emetic liability of new therapies has largely relied on the use of animal models, and although such models have proven invaluable in identification of the anti-emetic effects of both 5-hydroxytryptamine3 and neurokinin1 receptor antagonists selection of appropriate models is still a matter of debate. The present paper focuses on a number of controversial issues and gaps in our knowledge in the study of the physiology of nausea and vomiting including: The choice of species for the study of emesis and the underlying behavioural (e.g. neophobia), anatomical (e.g. elongated, narrow abdominal oesophagus with reduced ability to shorten) and physiological (e.g. brainstem circuitry) mechanisms that explain the lack of a vomiting reflex in certain species (e.g. rats); The choice of response to measure (emesis[retching and vomiting], conditioned flavour avoidance or aversion, ingestion of clay [pica], plasma hormone levels[e.g. vasopressin], gastric dysrhythmias) and the relationship of these responses to those observed in humans and especially to the sensation of nausea; The stimulus coding of nausea and emesis by abdominal visceral afferents and especially the vagus-how do the afferents encode information for normal postprandial sensations, nausea and finally vomiting?; Understanding the central processing of signals for nausea and vomiting is particularly problematic in the light of observations that vomiting is more readily amenable to pharmacological treatment than is nausea, despite the assumption that nausea represents "low" intensity activation of pathways that can evoke vomiting when stimulated more intensely.

“…A limitation for the reproducibility study could be a possible memory effect during completion of the second FFQ as women could possibly remember what they filled in 6 weeks ago. Furthermore, because of dietary changes, for example food cravings and aversions, nausea, vomiting (38,39) , during pregnancy and even possible dietary restrictions (e.g. restrictions to avoid toxoplasmosis), it might be more difficult to complete such FFQ during pregnancy.…”

Objective: To develop and validate a novel FFQ to assess the daily intake of four methyl-group donors (methionine, choline, betaine and folate). Design: The relative validity of the FFQ was assessed by comparison with 7 d estimated diet records (n 80) and its reproducibility was evaluated by repeated administrations 6 weeks apart (n 92). Paired Student t tests were used to compare group means and de-attenuated intra-class correlations to investigate the ability of the FFQ to rank individuals according to their methyl-group donor intake. De-attenuated intra-class correlation coefficients were calculated between the test and reference method for methionine, choline, betaine, folate and the sum of methyl-group donors. The weighted kappa (κ w ) was calculated as a measure of tertile agreement. Setting: Flanders, Belgium. Subjects: The FFQ was validated among Flemish women of reproductive age (18-35 years). Results: The questionnaire had an acceptable ranking ability (r = 0·32-0·68; κ w = 0·10-0·35), but overestimated the daily intake of folate (280·6 μg v. 212·0 μg) and betaine (179·1 mg v. 147·0 mg) compared with the 7 d estimated diet record. Cross-classification analysis indicated that 20 % (choline) of the participants were grossly misclassified in the validation study. The correlation between repeated administrations was good (r = 0·62-0·83) with a maximal misclassification of 7 % for betaine (κ w = 0·44-0·66). Conclusions: These results indicate that this newly developed FFQ is a reliable instrument with acceptable validity for ranking individuals according to methylgroup donor intake (except for a poor agreement for choline (κ w = 0·10) and a fair ranking ability for betaine (r = 0·32)) in Flemish women of reproductive age.
