“…Excessive eating has also been described as a feature of people who binge eat (Beglin & Fairburn, 1992;Fairburn & Wilson, 1993;McManus & Waller, 1995) and is reported as a characteristic of Kleine-Levin syndrome (Critchley, 1962) and Tourette's syndrome (Ballard, 1992). A number of measures have been used to assess aspects of eating in the broader eating disorder population (eg.…”

The development of a twenty item questionnaire, the Food Related Problem Questionnaire (FRPQ), with four subscales (preoccupation with food, impairment of satiety, difficulty with self-control and other food-related 'challenging' behaviour of food-related problems) for use with individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is described.. Test-retest and inter-rater reliability for the total score are .78 and .86 respectively. Subscale test-retest and inter-rater reliability are acceptable for three subscales (range .70 to .85) but not for the self control subscale. To establish criterion validity, scores on the FRPQ for a sample of individuals with PWS were compared to scores for individuals with intellectual disability but not PWS. All reliable subscale scores and the total score differentiated between the groups (p<.001 in all cases). Internal consistency for the total scale is good (Cronbach's Alpha = .87). Finally, some normative data for a limited age range are presented and potential applications of the measure are discussed.Assessing food related problems 3

Hyperphagia and self-mutilation in Prader-Willi syndrome: Psychopharmacological issues

et al. 1998

This study focused in the treatment of two major Prader-Willi symptoms: hyperphagia and self-injurious behavior (SIB). Four patients participated in a four-year study with monthly follow-ups. Patients lived in a behaviorally structured environment, and were treated with selective serotonin reuptake blockers and phenothiazines. Psychopharmacological intervention improved SIB symptoms, but was ineffective to control appetite satiation.

A comparison of food avoidant behaviours and sensory sensitivity in adults with and without Tourette syndrome

Food selectivity has been shown to be more persistent and severe in children with Tourette syndrome (TS) compared to their typically developing peers. The current study aimed to examine differences in food selectivity, food neophobia and avoidant restrictive intake disorder associated behaviours, between adults with and without TS.Fifty-three adults diagnosed with TS were compared to 53 neurotypical adults and completed the following measures online: Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (AEBQ), Nine-Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake disorder screen (NIAS), Food Neophobia Scale (FNS) and the Sensory Perception Quotient (SPQ). Higher levels of food avoidant behaviours, in terms of food fussiness, food neophobia and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)-associated behaviours, were identified in adults with TS compared to adults without TS. While heightened sensory sensitivity failed to predict selective eating, greater sensitivity to taste was found to be predictive of food neophobia in TS. These are the first findings to suggest that food avoidant behaviours are more prevalent for adults with TS and signal a need to address health implications.
