help neat juice becoming issue!

What I had to do was to leave diluted squash on the kitchen side, then put the neat squash out of site. It worked for my 2 asd boys. You never know, but at least this way you other child does not have to go without. Hope this helps.

Hi stacey my son has always had food drink issues. When he was small he was a bit overweight from about age 6 till he got to about 15. Then he decided to eat healthy. No eating inbetween meals. He lost weight but went too far. I kept telling him he didnt need to lose any more weight but he carried on. I made him weigh himself and he went down to 9 stone and he is 5ft 10.  It took a while for it to sink in then he started to eat better and now he weighs 10 stone 10. He  still has obsessions but I let him get on with it. Some are healthy some arent. Obviously if it was something that would harm him ( like salt) then I would step in. But at the moment its frozen water bananas and jammie dodgers. We have just got over tinned tuna. One tin on a sandwich and another tin to eat. It can last for weeks then suddenly he goes onto something else. Also food he has always eaten he will suddenly take a dislike to aswel. We recently went through the I dont like potatoes anymore. So he ended up eating rice with most things. Keep ur chin up I cant say it gets better but it gets easier to understand and u get used to it. I always say lifes never dull in my house.xx

Stacy,

Your very welcome, but I fear I have not helped you that much. Did me posting in General Chat help at all, I hope so. I don't like to think of other people struggling that's why I try and help as much as I possibly can.

I hope you get the answers you desire soon. Good luck Stacy.

Kindest regards and best wishes,

from Matthew.

Ahh thanks miffo, 

You defo was helping, cheers.

Dosie doh, hi, yes same here call them all obsessions as of age juice (squash) Is all he drinks won't have water obv no fizzy etc. So maybe the only way is to stop buying but my eldest HFA would feel very put out if he couldn't have because of brother. 

Food and drink is a nightmare soon as knows it's there, Home he goes absolutely wild for more n more n more. He is defiantly not hungry! 

So how do you get past your sons issues with food/drink  just ride with them and go with the flow? Sometimes I just think let him have it saves all meltdowns and aggression but when u know it's no good for them (neat juice) or the 11th ricecake in a row it's seems hard to allow.  Has your son always over ate? Far more than nessesery?

Thanks Stacey x

Hi stacey I dont have an answer, but my son , who is 18, has had many different food or drink problems, which I call food obsessions. Some strange and some normal. At the moment its jammie dodgers, bananas and he will now only drink water once it has been frozen in the freezer. Oh and not forgetting spag bol on toast !  it usually lasts anywhere upto 6 months with him. I remember when he was about 5 he would drink neat ribena, the dr said to stop buying it. He said it was a craving. So I didnt buy it anymore, yes he had tantrums and got angry but after a few days he calmed down.  hope you get sorted x

Not at all Miffo, it's very kind of you and I really could see you were trying to help.

Take care,

AdeINAS,

That's ok I just noticed that nobody had replied to Stacy, I thought I would just try and give her some help (as much as I could of course)

Hope I wasn't to much of a pain, I just like to help people is all. Sorry.

Kindest regards,

Matthew.

Hi Miffo,

It's lovely to see that you're enjoying the community and getting so much support! Just wanted to mention that there's no need usually to repost on other people's behalf, sometimes it just takes other community members a while to respond. Don't worry, I understand you were just trying to help.

Take care,

Hey Stacy, Matthew here.

In General Chat I told everyone that you needed help. You'll start getting answers hopefully, you're more than likely going to hear back from people tomorrow though you might get lucky tonight.

I drink a lot of coke you know but I think that's more due to stress than anything else and as your son is a lot younger than I am I'd say he's got something different to the problem I have. I hope you hear back from somebody.

Best wishes and good luck

Kindest regards and wishes,

From Matthew.

Ahh thank you both for helping.  Yes Miffo have been struggling with sons food/drink demands for a while now. Thank you.

Also Dee, I think I may speak to my sons peaditriton to seek some help getting bit out of control and he is big and so strong for 3.5 years. 

Thanks again

Hi Stacey,

I too have no answers sorry however when I read your post my first thoughts with anyone showing a change in appetite/thirst/cravings is to get a medical checkup incase of any deficiencies.

Hope you get resolution soon

Hi Stacey.

I haven't heard of your sons problem before but I did however notice that you had been waiting for a reply for a while. I thought I would comment so your time since someone posted went back down to 0 seconds again, it might help you to get a reply to someone who knows the answers!

Sorry for not being able to help

I hope you get the answers your looking for

Kindess and best wishes,

From Matthew.

P.S "If you don't get answers, then in my own posts I'll mention that you require help ... hope I'm helping you!"
