Ds11 has had some problems of a psychological nature recently and he stopped eating. He is now getting better and wants to eat but has zero appetite. A typical days diet would be 25g of cornflakes (from the little boxes) for breakfast. About 2 spoons of rice and a chicken drum stick for lunch. No supper. Sometimes there's no breakfast, just chicken drumstick in the afternoon. He will eat biscuits and fruit but gone of ice cream etc.
He has lost a lot of weight, and we are worried, he weights about 30kg. He desperately wants to put on weight and look more like boys his age.
I want to buy vitamins to to help increase his appetite but wondering if anyone has had this problem before and can recommend and something that will greatly boost his appetite.
I read an old thread and someone was talking about mascarpone but DS isn't really eating creamy things right now, no toast either.
Are there any vitamins or something I haven't thought of that can help?
We have seen GP but he just says his is within normal weight range albeit a bit slim for his age, and as long as he eating fruit, cereal etc he should be okay. Oh and he eats burgers, but we're not really a burger buying family, we tend to cook at home which makes things a bit tricky.
