PEAS would love to hear from you! Please sign our guestbook (no spamming, we promise!)
My teen daughter is currently in a residential program to address her issues with anxiety and OCD. She has always been a picky eater & avoids all fruits and vegetables (except broccoli). Left to her own devices she would only eat "junk" food like donuts, cookies and chicken nuggets and fries. She eats modified (unseasoned) versions of the meals eaten by the rest of the family. She is able to find food to eat in restaurants. She has been a normal height and weight her entire life, and has been healthy. The food served at the residential program is all organic, and completely sugar-free. She isn't eating much, and they want to switch her into an eating disorder group. I realize that her food choices are disordered, but was under the impression it was related to her OCD. I'm not convinced that treating this as an ED is going to help, and might just make things worse.
