[Dysphagia] question regarding rumination

I am an SLP and recently started seeing a child who ruminates 50-70 times/hour.  I am seeing him for feeding issues including significant oral control deficits and a limited diet.  His parents recently took him to a rumination specialist who recommended that he start eating peanut butter and bread/dry starches (which he will not accept).  Does anyone have experience with foods that are meant to reduce rumination or have experience with successful behavioral interventions?
