[QUOTE="Karen & Crew, post: 28385, member: 3504"] The periactin is the appetite stimulant. I suspect R has some degree of sensory problems also. Compound that with the fact that he was subjected to some mental and physical abuse at a child-care center - most of which related to food issues and that's where we are today. A child with a diet that's limited to peanut butter on white bread with no crust, perfectly smooth yogurt and chicken nuggets from Wendy's or BK. There's a couple of other things but those are the biggies. He's always fed breakfast, or what he'll eat of it, before he's given the Concerta and it seems to make no difference. I've always packed plenty of healthy snack-type foods in his lunch previously - tubes of yogurt and applesauce, juice...things he ASKED for. I was rather shocked to hear he was dumping it all out every day. We have an open door policy on the pantry/refrigerator but because he's been filling up on crap food and not grow food the crap has disappeared. There are still plenty of options available for him to eat but he chooses not to. If we try to force the issue he gags himself until he vomits. He's supposed to be drinking a Boost or an Ensure twice a day but he refuses, saying they're nasty. The food issue causes me concern because he's already so skinny and he dropped 20 pounds in just a couple of months after school started. [/QUOTE]
