[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 378495, member: 3493"] My oldest son had a variant on the eating anxiety when he was in K. His turned out to be caused by PANDAS and the precipitating factor was that he choked on a piece of pizza because his throat hurt from the initial strep infection. We tried Ensure (H insisted on chocolate and the kid hates chocolate to this day!). We took him to a psychologist affiliated with LIJ who was an expert in eating disorders in children. She treated him with moderate talk therapy (after all, he was only 5) and with eating trips. They would go together to Dunkin' Donuts or the like and eat together. The treatment worked well - he now has to try and lose 50 pounds before he (hopefully) gets called for a civil service position. The purpose of the treatment was to show him that food was his friend and would not hurt him so he could eat it. My son does not have an underlying psychiatric disorder other than PANDAS so this treatment may not work. If the situation continues, I would urge you to call the psychiatrist and see if you can get in before Tuesday. This constitutes an emergency. You said she has lost 10% of her body weight in 2 weeks. If that happened to me, it would be called a miracle and a first step, but your daughter is not in the same position. [/QUOTE]
