Not sure that this is the right part of the forum to post this but I can't find anywhere which appears to be more relevant.
DW and I have a problem with DD1 and her eating habits. She is 3 in July and has always been a faddy/fussy eater. Last summer she had a phase where she was vomiting regularly and having diarrhoea. This we finally nailed down as being a wheat intolerance following pretty extensive testing at our local hospital. Pasta was pretty much all she would eat at the time.
Since switching her to a wheat free diet the vomiting has ended but the breadth of food she eats is and continues to be very poor.
She eats a reasonable amount of fruit, drinks milk like it is going out of fashion. She will have the odd yoghurt but not eggs or cheese. She will not eat meat or fish, however it is served up to her and currrently will not eat wheat free pasta at home (occasionally she will do so at the childminder). Her main food is baked beans at the moment.
We supplement her diet with a dha based multi vit and an iron supplement. She has put no weight on in ages and has gained very little height either in 9 months.
it is hard to get her to eat anything else.
Should we be using reward style strategies to encourage her to eat, i.e., eat this or no Ceebeebies or should we just take away what she won't eat but offer her nothing else?
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
