[QUOTE="Mariah, post: 367676"] actually yeah they have a pediatric gastrointerologist and a speach therapist, and a nutritionalist, and diatition, and also now will be going to another eating specialist soon. but yes they have done very extensive testing (actually just my oldest has, but my youngest is about to also). they have tested for so much stuff over the course of about a year and can not for the life of them figure out anything except that he has mild esophagitis caused by reflux which we have treated for about 6 months now. nothing else was found. nothing wrong with how his mouth and throat works, nothing wrong with his stomache or any diseses so far. they think its behavioral. we do have a childrens hospital nearby that we use. we even have had him admitted to it for almost a week for thourough evaluating. he absorbs nutrients. we had him on a feeding tube for a week and he gained about 3-4 lbs. but he wont eat. when he was on the feeding tube, he got even less interested in food and wanted to just have it pumped into him instead. thats why we dont have him on it anymore. he likes the taste of cirtain foods, but does not choose to eat them. we have tried evything and i mean EVERYTHING to get him to eat. you mention it, we have already done it. that is when my mom found that autism was linked to anorexia in children. since then i have learned that maybe its not physical. maybe his eating is mental or behavioral in the sence that he needs a diagnosis of a mental condition such as what we have been talking about here. very long process. very frustrating. many dead ends.
