[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 144283"] I believe we had this same experience. We didn't realize at the time what the problem could be, now looking back I think we understand why. When difficult child was 5 he stopped eating. It was June, school just got out. We didn't notice too much at first. He would tell us if he swallowed his food he would choke and die. We told him no, he was fine. Days passed and he would sit in front of his food. Once when we demanded he eat just one bite, he said his good-byes. Said he loves us, cried, was shaking got the food to his mouth and could not do it. I took him to a psychiatrist. They put him on liquid Paxil. That did nothing. Days and weeks passed. Pediatrician referred him to a pediatric gastroenterologist. They did a scope to ensure nothing in his throat. All was fine. After 6 weeks of no solid food, not even one bite he started to not want to drink. (we were giving him pediasure and ensure). Finally easy child was going to a concert in a larger town. Told difficult child he could go ONLY if he would eat. easy child took him to a restaurant in the other town. Called us. difficult child ate ONE french fry. Silly to be so excited about one french fry. But, this must of proved to difficult child he would not choke and die. He slowly began eating again. Looking back at things that happened around that time we found: A neighbor man who has been so nice to difficult child since he was born. A scary looking biker guy with long hair, big full beard. difficult child loved him. He would go watch him work on his motorcycle. The man gave difficult child a ride around the block. When he went to the motorcycle ralley he would bring difficult child t-shirts. Really a nice man. That man died in his sleep. It was in early June. We think that is what caused difficult child to feel that way. We find when difficult child starts acting strange we look at situations that occurred and have been able to usually tie something in that set him off. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
