I was like that with food as well. I mean, not to the degree that he is (or my brother), but pretty bad. At one point, I was living off of hamburger patties, baked potatoes and corn. And strangely enough, I ate artichokes. <br/><br/>It wasn't until my mother tried just steaming green beans sans butter that I started eating something green. We realized that it was the seasoning that was putting me off of it. I like the flavor of just the vegetable. <br/><br/>I'm like that with coffee too. For years people tried to get me drink coffee; suggesting things like, "here, put some cream or sugar or ice cream" or whatever in it. Yuck. My first semester in grad school then, I ventured out to try some that the library was serving during exam week. I just drank it black and liked it fine. It's the original taste that I like. <br/><br/>Tell me, do you sneak vitamins into his milk sometimes? I guess this proves that he's maturing a bit. I was like that with food as well.

What an exciting post!<br/><br/>I have an Autistic son as well and can really relate to the concern over food issues. He self-limited to bread, cereal and yogurt before I put him on a GF/CF diet. It wasn't easy but I've seen amazing results. We celebrate every newly-introduced (and tolerated) food like it's a National holiday around here. :)<br/><br/>I wish you continued success with it!<br/><br/><a HREF="http://thehurtingheart.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">The Hurting Heart</a> Congratulations to you all!
