difficult child. He was up vomiting in the middle of the night. husband and I think it is because he ate so much that his stomach couldn't help it. (We do realize it might not be because of the food but the rest of this post still applies-he is eating way too much).
He seriously eats almost non stop. He has gained another 16 pounds this spring and now weighs 132 pounds (he is only 57 inches tall). He gets enraged when there isn't food that he likes and he is "hungry".
I have to hide things that don't need to be refrigerated but might be for a meal. If we have some ice cream in the freezer or even single serving types he will eat them all-within 2 days or less. If we buy something for a dinner, like hot dogs for a night of grilling, he will eat the entire package in two days-he'll sneak them whenever he can.
I have a snack for him every day when he gets to my school. As soon as we get home he heads straight to the fridge.
We are starting to buy only healthy foods for snack but he gets in the fridge and finds whatever he can or the pantry. We have thought about getting a lock for the fridge but he would probably ruin the refrigerator trying to get in.
We do realize his medications are contributing to the hunger. However we think he eats also whenever he is the least bit "bored".
Any ideas on what to try?
