How to get healthy options into DS2 who has a restrictive diet

35 replies

dietstartstmoz · 08/03/2013 11:29

Following on from the banana bread recipe on the support thread, which I will make later, I could do with some tips on how to get healthier options into DS2. He has HFA and only eats a small handful of things, he eats very little fruit and veg and very little meat, eggs etc.
Has anyone got some tips on how to hide some healthier options into food?
My only tip is to puree carrots and other veg into pizza base sauce to make our own pizzas.
I am lacking in inspiration and creativity!

Would he eat home made sausage roll/pasty? My mum used to fry onions and blended veg, mix it with the sos mix and wrap in pastry for the whole family. She would be able to disguise most stuff in there - bless her.

Epsom salts! Have just had a google, looks very interesting, can I just get the in the chemist?

I have struggled with omega 3, and haven't found a supplement that he will take. He has 6 lots of meds a day, and he is not great with taking them, which is why I mix the vit drops in with juice.

He won't eat pastry, I did try making my own 'sausages', with all sorts mixed into them, but they weren't popular!

Sorry op, I feel a bit bad about hijacking your thread.

That might be handy, considering it can take days for him to do a poo!
