My 20 year old son just came across SED. It seems to be such a relief to him to know that he is not alone. He eats about 5 things. I constantly worry about him. I would like to hear from anyone that has tried hypnosis.

Dear Nancy
I Have heard from many with our disorder and Hypnosis can help relax a person and put them in a positive frame of mind to try and eat new things. But after that once the new food is in the mouth the real problem is still there and in my opinion Hypnosis is of little long term use in most cases. Yes it would be wonderful if a hypnotic suggestion could get us to try new foods and learn to like it. I believe we can add new things to what we can eat. I have heard from some people who at the start of each year they decide they are going to try a new food as many times as it takes to learn to tolerate it. Does not mean they will actually like it. Just one thing a year.
