[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 302774, member: 1233"] While most kids that age do start to eat large amounts, it can be a sign of a problem. Sometimes the child is just too hungry or the treat too tempting to resist. But they may be eating for other reasons. If he has a gnawing hunger that drives him to eat almost constantly he should be examined for gastritis or an ulcer. Esp if he is on medications as many medications can contribute to these problems. You can usually add prilosec (omeprazole generic) or zantac (sold as acid reducer at Walmart) and it may help. Locking cabinets and even a chain on the frige may be needed. If there is food for a specific purpose make sure you can keep it locked in your room or another room. If needed move the refrigerator and freezer to a room you can put a dead bolt on. ALL moms of boys go through this to some degree, but moms of difficult children deal with a whole lot more of it and greater degrees of it. Just make sure there are some healthy pref lower calorie or no wasted calorie food he can munch on. 5 lb bags of carrots last less than 3 days with Jess and thank you. I get ranch in the gallon size for $7 at walmart or $6 at Sams and it lasts maybe 3-4 weeks. Just rmember to keep ready to eat fruits and veggies around in quantity. [/QUOTE]
