[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 382440, member: 3493"] That is great! I am so happy that the program listened to you and is trying a liquid diet first. She should get enough caloric intake and nutrition now without the anxiety of choking. I know how you feel to some extent, although my situation was not as extended as yours. My oldest son (now 20) had something similar after his first ever bout of strep. He lost 5 pounds from his 32 pound body in 5 days. We did Ensure and 4 months of twice weekly sessions with a feeding specialty psychiatric who worked with him on not being afraid to swallow. It was not talk therapy because he was only 5 years old. He was ultimately diagnosed with PANDAS and this fear of food was a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) linked to that syndrome. For several years, whenever he'd get strep, he would refuse to eat until the antibiotics kicked in - sometimes for as long as one week. (This is not my ODD son, this one is slightly Aspie but not ODD). Anyway, I really hope that your daughter will progress quickly in the program now that they are adapting it to help with her needs and that she will be healthy and able to return home soon. [/QUOTE]
