a young child's aversion to food

Sent to Health Experts February 05, 2005 1:34 p.m.

hello specialist!
My son Jalen is 7 years old and has an aversion to eating meat, bread, most food items! It is easier for me to tell you what he will eat. Jalen eats froot loops, apple jacks & captain crunch, trix yogurt- wild berry blue & rasberry only & same flavors go gurt, danimals strawberry, mcdonald’s french fries, certain ore ida fries, vanilla pudding, strawberry & orange jello, vanilla wafers & graham crakers, vanilla ice cream, fruit juicy drinks, sometimes milk. On occasion he will eat one mcdonald’s mcnugget & a couple of forkfuls of spaghetti. Jalen will take gummy bears multivitamins. He doesn’t like to smell food that we are eating and will not try any thing new- not one bite!
I don’t know what to do! Please help?

Greetings:

If you would, please respond to the following so that I may assist you and your son, Jalen:

Does Jalen have a weight problem?

Does Jalen ask for the particular food(s) that he's eating, or do you just give it to him?

How long has Jalen had this food problem?

Has anything recently occurred in Jalen's life that's causing him to behave this way, especially with not liking the smell of food?

Have you taken Jalen to see his doctor for an examination because of this problem?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Bright Blessings.

Peace, Love & Happiness,

The Mystic Wave
