Well, one way that worked with (an autistic child I worked with way

before was born) was letting him eat mixed vegies frozen--straight

out of the bag from the freezer. He loved them and would eat them constantly

in that way only.

Aislynn just informed me she eats SALAD

at school! " Oh sure, " I said. No, really,

it's a garden salad with bits of radishes,

tomato, some carrots. Now I know for a fact

she hates carrots, and almost never eats

tomato. She hates anything with cheese,

or pasta like pizza and spaghetti, yet will

eat a chef-boy-r-dee can of spaghetti and

meatballs, and makes herself a ragu express

in a bowl. So I can never predict what she

might like and not. Sometimes she will even

eat spinach, (w/lots of mayo) and asparagus.

She has got to be real hungry to do that.

But she even puts Ranch dressing on that salad.

Actually, she didn't know what kind of dressing it

was, so I took out a bottle of ranch from the fridge

and let her sniff.

Only two months ago, her dinners mainly were

corn dogs. Today, she has not had a corn dog

in about three weeks. It goes in cycles, huh?

Grace -

I think it would hold lots of water, myself. I say this because of

all of Jacqui's progress since we have been attempting to " heal " her

gut.

I have no doubt that diet is, if not key, then an essential piece of

the puzzle.

Now, that said, how do I get that girl to eat veggies??????

Sly girl! This is the sort of thing that Putter would do. He has different

rules for different places and he does not tell anyone about his different

rules.

At least she is TELLING you.

Great! This is actually very good!

It's quite like what I see with occasionally.

Now he has gotten sick of his beloved pizza! I can't believe it, but he

didn't want pizza for dinner last night! (i guess giving one thing for lunch

3 weeks in a row will do that, huh?)

good luck!

I keep interrupting other's conversations, but...well, I don't care.

Deal with it.

I, myself, have given up trying to get Jacqui to eat. I've almost

come to the point where I won't even call her down for breakfast.

I have to initiate EVERY meal. " Do you want breakfast? " , which I have

to repeat umpteen times. It's very annoying.

That said, the other day around 2:00, she still hadn't eaten lunch.

I said " What do you want for lunch? " . I got the standard response " I

dunno " . Now that response wouldn't be so bad if she didn't say " NO "

to everything that I offered. I finally said screw it. " Do you want

yogurt? " (she just started eating this again...she picked out Trix

yogurt)...she says " Yeees " ...Good. I get her the yogurt. She eats

the yogurt. She then looks at me, and quite seriously says " Mom,

this isn't lunch. I want a Tuna Fish Sandwich " .

Yes, she's still alive. Barely.
