[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 33777, member: 2894"] Oh my gosh- if he keeps this up, my beanpole 8 yr old is going to be a blimp in the next few months! The minimal dose of Zyprexa he's on is making him insatiably hungry and he just keeps going and going and going and going. I know this is normal on these types of medications and that a lot of you have dealt with this side effect, so I was just wondering if you've found a way to cope with it and help your child manage the hunger so they don't blow up. He's a picky eater, so as far as changing the types of foods he's eating, I've done the best I can as far as going high fiber and offering healthy choices (high fiber cereal with low fat milk, yogurts, etc.). I've also tried the trick of offering him a glass of water or milk BEFORE he eats to try to fill him up, but he refuses. Anything else? [/QUOTE]
