How do you get a child that's a picky eater because of sensory issues to take oral medicines?
Thank you @A MyAutismTeam Member. I didn't know that, I will try that.
My son is an extremely picky eater and the only food he eats i will not able to be put in his lunch box. So i put a bottle of ensure and a bag of cheerios and he only drinks a bit of the shake.

So I have been looking into a gluten free diet for my son and I’ve read a lot of positive things about the diet. One issue I have is... he is an extremely picky eater. Has anyone ever switched their picky eaters over to a gluten free diet? Is so, how did it work? What recipes were used?

ADHD = Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder

I have a very picky eater - I allowed him to get very hungry and offering him healthy food and eventually ate. Don't be scared won't eat for 2-3 days as long as drinking something - it is fine

I couldn’t get my 5 year old to try different things but when he went to stay with grandma it’s like all his old habits were gone and he had a clean slate , new plates new room new tables and now he’s… read more
