Picky Eater

[Bestsoccerplayer]

Hi! My son is 11 yrs old (ADHD) and he its extremely picky when it comes to food. I am running out of ideas!

Could you recommend any shakes, yogurt, bars that your kids like that are tasty and nutritious at the same time? Or any strategy that you use to get him to eat.

I am desperate!

A friend who is a dietitian recommended zinc supplements, because sometimes a zinc deficiency leads to food not tasting as good. We tried zinc (and a host of other supplements) and our son (8 yo, ADHD, ODD and anxiety) went from eating only one food for an entire month to eating pretty much everything the rest of our family eats. It may be worth a try, or worth testing to see if he is deficient. Best of luck to you! It is so hard!

Thanks for the Zinc suggestion. Perhaps my son will try this with my 8 year old grandson who pretty much eats only hot dogs, hamburgers, apples and candy. And good luck to 'bestsoccerplayer'!
