[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 553202, member: 1550"] Will he eat at all or will he just refuse your healthy, well balanced dinner? I had this with my son. He had serious sensory issues and would never eat fruits, veggies, or anything he thought felt or looked mushy or "gross." In fact, he would throw up. He will still throw up if forced. We never did find a way to make him eat what we ate as he was too grossed out by certain textures, smells, colors and tastes of food to keep a lot of it down. They were part of his serious sensory issues. He is nineteen now and still does not eat healthy and we tried everything in the book plus tons of professionals to make sure he didn't have any other medical problems (we had him see a lot more doctors than you took V to see). We also had him tested for diabetes, thyroid, and endocrine issues because he craves sweets and carbs and doesn't even like meat or chicken. Nobody ever found anything wrong with him. We took him to three different nutritionists. Nada. If V refuses to eat what you cook, you may one day be forced to let him eat what he likes to eat and throw in as much healthy stuff as you can. I think it's healthier to do that than to let him not eat and not gain, when he needs food so badly at his age. Do you think he may have sensory issues toward certain textures, colors, or smells of foods? [/QUOTE]
