Hi, I'm georgia I'm 19 years of age and I have restrictive food intake disorder/selective eating disorder and have had for as long as I can remember, I only eat diary products, chips and pizza, nothing else.
My name is Renee and I am Rosemary's mom (She's 9) Since birth Rosie displayed strong emotions and stress regarding meals, food, smells, taste, and of course texture. I knew this was not the norm and had her evaluated at 17 month- only to be sent home with "she's healthy- just picky-and maybe has some sensory issues." Rosemary was a healthy weight because she lived off baby rice cereal and baby foods till 3 years of age. Functioning in every other way, being smart and funny and out going, makes it hard for people to understand her real struggle. Even her primary Dr. She currently has about 6-8 foods she can and will eat- we have had OT and feeding therapy in the past from age 18 months - 4 years old. (taking a break for 4 years) to reduce stress. She is set for new food evaluation this Friday at a place that came highly recommended. I am so glad I found this site. I understand this is who she is- I love her just the way she is......but I am glad she will have a place (here) at some point for support. Rosie primarily eats, Vanilla yogurt, Pankcakes, waffles, popcorn, fries, processed Chx fingers, and cookies. Thank you for helping others have a place to not feel alone in this struggle and for teaching the outside world this is "real". Warm Regards (Rosie's mom)
