[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 152487, member: 3444"] Okay, here's how we've dealt with the whole weight issue -- which was/is a BIG deal for difficult child 1 because of his Crohn's: We were told that dairy fat is the quickest way to inject calories into a diet -- so shakes, smoothies, even ice cream are encouraged. Adding healthy fats like olive oil to your dinner recipes can also boost calories. Try offering cream-based soups instead of broth-based (clam chowder is a fav at our house). And finally, we let him eat whenever he wants -- even if it's at bedtime. He typically gets hungrier in the evenings after medications wear off. And if he's old enough to understand, try to explain why it's so important to try to eat something during the school day, even if he doesn't feel hungry. [/QUOTE]
