[QUOTE="DDD, post: 432661, member: 35"] Have you checked to see if hunger is a side effect of his medication? I've dealt with food issues with only the youngest difficult child. Initially the problem was the result of PTSD due to his previous environment at his GFGmom's house. He actually was denied food as a form of punishment...geez! The second bout of food issues was a direct result of one of his medications. What worked for us was allowing him to have a small stash of food in his room (his food issues were primarily after bedtime) so that he could reach to his bedside table and eat when desired. The type of food wasn't much of an issue with him so for the most part it was a couple pieces of fruit, nuts and fairly healthy stuff. I don't remember how long it lasted but in less than a year he was saying "No thanks, I don't need anything tonight." That was a hug whoop for me because it showed his anxiety level had decreased. on the other hand, with that one medication his body really needed something. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
