[QUOTE="Jena, post: 378412, member: 4514"] i am adding onto my own post. :) i have done a little research into this, it's actually called a food phobia. for some reason or another her anxiety got to the point where she is convinced if she eats food she will choke, than die. in my research it states that lowering anxiety is key, yet an important factor is re introducing foods to the child and retraining the brain to understand it's ok, you wont' choke and die. now, we aren't down to no solids at all yet. but we're close. last night half a cheeseburger all day long( and she didnt' even eat entire thing, broke it into pieces), today nothing. they said feeding tubes, hauling her into e.r. not right approach will just scare cr*p out of her at this point and heighten anxiety. plus she did drink the carnation drink yet she cant' survive on that clearly. anyone have experience with-the therapy end of it? just getting the medications next week will be one step to combat hopefully sleep, mania and anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). yet that in itself will come with-side effects i'm sure and changes. adding a new medication is never an easy thing as many of us know. yet that other component the eating thing i do not think will be solved simply by saying hey here's the medication your anxiety's better now eat your dinner. lol. she's giong to need a therapist with-whom handles all these issues that iknow. yet that's giong to take time been searching so far nothing. last one we had dropped off on us, her schedule was too booked. thanks guys as always :) [/QUOTE]
