Food

A potato is a good substitute for a banana. They contain much of the same nutrients. Meat also has a great deal of nutrition. Years ago I read the perfect food in a crisis was a jacket with butter. Digestives have oats, so you've ticked boxes. Does he like juice or fruit? Maybe dried? If he's not allergic a teaspoon of local honey is really good. I used to give my son protein bars when he wouldn't eat anything else. But children don't need much. They definitely don't need high fibre veg.

My grandmother used to reinforce that children will eat when they're hungry. In addition though, her father had "stomach problems", while my father discovered eventually he had gluten issues, as did I. One should always get this checked or pay attention to biology first. Our gut-health is connected to taste. 

But Jane Goodall lived off Bananas for months at a time & lived a happy and healthy long life. The most important thing is not to make a fuss about it. I eventually found that having bits of things always available, carrots, grapes, apples, dried fruit snacks, oat bars and such, within reach in small manageable amounts, is a healthier way to eat anyway. My son would just snack on things like this and eat what he could for meals. Now he's 25, loves cooking and packs down a kitchen in a meal. Haha
