Guest guest Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 How about lunchmeat rolled up and then placed in a small sandwich bag and cheese rolled up and placed in a sandwich bag. Then pack club or ritz crackers and he can " put them together " himself. Meat in between 2 crackers - eat it. Then cheese in between 2 crackers. Will he eat tuna fish?? How about peanut butter on crackers and jelly on the side that he can put on new " clean " crackers. My aspie likes baby carrots - dipped in ranch dressing. How about cold chicken? cold roast beef? GOOD LUCK !!!! spaghetti in a thermos. soup. cereal in a tupperware bowl and then he can add the milk at school. Dawn My son is a very picky eater that doesn't like to try new foods. He dosen't like " mixed together " foods, that is food with more than 1 ingredient. He has to have almost all of his food separated like a sandwich has to be bread slices,next to the meat, next to the cheese. I have tried rewarding him for taking a taste of new foods, ones that I thinks he would like, it has worked to a degree. School lunches have been a nightmare. He doesn't want to try the hot lunch they provide and doesn't want to eat food from a lunch box because it is " old " and I can't always take a fresh hot lunch to school at noon for him. Any ideas would sure be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 We never had a lot of problems with any particular foods, although Kris is kinda picky about the texture of some foods, but our real problem with food was restaurants. They made him so nervous that for years I'd plan a " sick trip " to the bathroom in the first 5 minutes of any trip to eat out. That one's gotten better lately.

This isn't a " sore " subject - everyone is just sharing " war stories " about food. Roxanna ôô What doesn't kill us Makes us really mean.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 I have it on EXCELLENT authority that the ONLY acceptable packed lunch is: o peanut butter (creamy) and grape jelly on Wonder bread o Pringles o a banana o a butterscotch zinger (maybe vanilla if we're feeling adventurous) and o a thermos of milk or a box of apple juise (but for god's sake, make sure the juice box has the bendy straw and not the expandable straw!!!) must know -- he's almost 8, and has taken the same lunch every day since daycare. (ok, to be honest, he has it 3 meals a day unless I break down and get pizza or Mcs). He calls is " the usual, " as in " I'll have the usual. " During the last 2 weeks was on Straterra, he ASKED to try different foods 3 times!! Unfortunately, the Straterra also had him sleeping through school, as well as making his perseverations worse, so we had to stop it. But it makes ya think -- there must be some neurological basis even to the picky eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 What is straterra used for.? My son is being evaluated and maybe starting a med soon for his Obsessive behaviors. He isn't too picky of an eater. Somewhat.

Mine has added a new twist to his eating. He will eat the peanut butter and jelly sandwich at school, but not at home. I cannot figure this one out. He eats the same thing day after day also. I also have a 12 year old who is extremely picky, but not quite as bad as my younger one. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
