Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 It's very normal for a child on the diet to want to sniff the food he/she can't have. Several on this list have children who are highly sensitive to the smells around them since starting the diet. My daughter, Shan, is one of those kids. It seems that sniffing the food satisfies their curiosity. What's embarrassing is when they want to sniff the food of guests. Also, Shan would watch every bite that went into a person's mouth. Thankfully, she is not so sensitive in this area any more. I do catch her from time to time wanting to smell my food. Rhonda Re: Stella had an MRI today... Hope all is well for the VNS. Poor Stella, wanting to sniff the food she can't have. One of my aunts did that with pickles which was not good for her. She said that satisfied her somewhat so maybe it's so for Stella too. Good luck with the VNS.
