In a combined multiple baseline and changing criterion design, the effectiveness of a multicomponent behavioral treatment program to increase the oral liquid and food intake of a child with short-gut syndrome was assessed. Shaping and contingency management procedures were used to teach the child to consume a variety of liquid and food items which were introduced sequentially. Treatment resulted in marked increase in both amount as well as the variety of food items which were consumed. Benefits of the treatment procedures and the existence of a phobic-type response to solid foods are discussed.

Key words: feeding treatment; food refusal; short-gut syndrome.
