They used to only eat a few foods: most of them crunched like a potato chip and not like a carrot. Now they eat all sorts of foods, but we have undergone lots of OT therapy, trying to desensitize them. Compared to most, they're still quite picky. I know it's an aversion to something new -- and sensory issues. Thanks for sharing!

So strange. Except I did not get poisoning...I get weird attacks on my upper left side and am on a gluten and dairy free limited diet and I STILL get them sometimes...so lots of yucky tests...My gastroscopy is scheduled for september...to me it is TORTURE...medical tests are TORTURE...I only endure. I have to fight every ounce of pain, panic and feelings of being abused even when I am not because my system feels abused. I get very traumatized. I did HIDAscan yesterday and while it was the best test I have ever done the warmth of radioactive stuff going into my arm too considerable amount of control to ignore...and the nuseau half way through the test almost had me jumping from the table but I didn't. I think we are very brave...and inconclusive results are the most depressing as we go through ALL of that torture for ZERO answers...it feels like something senseless.. I try not to cry or think about it when I can but since we have to eat 3 times a day it is always in the back of my mind...Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421099117611643039.post-21074544707978119302014-06-10T12:51:58.278-07:002014-06-10T12:51:58.278-07:00I'm glad you have figured out how to make eati...I'm glad you have figured out how to make eating better for you.

I try hard to understand why he will ONLY eat dry crunchy things (literally certain crackers &, cereal. And he limits drinks to Milk & Juice). He does have food allergies as well (Eggs, nuts, peanuts). Reading what you are able to communicate is tremendously helpful for me in understanding my son and what life is like for him.
