I'm not sure, but the gagging reflex and vomiting in humans is a very complex mechanisms. I think the gagging reflex is to prevent food from going down the windpipe to prevent humans from choking. A lot of reptiles do not have this mechanism and do not regurgitate unless something is not right, such as illnesses or maybe starving animals, that cannot hold down food.
