[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Definitely not a troll. I agree with you  that these are likely lifelong issues and worry about that. I’m am glad to hear you’ve found some things that have worked.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the one who needs a coach. My husband and I are well read on our son’s issues and there’s such conflicting info out there. Is the sneaking of food due to the fact that we’ve been too restrictive or focused on health in the past or is it just due to the adhd. We do heavily restrict online access and it’s the first thing taken away as a consequence (for anything)

I agree that he doesn’t want to eat at the kitchen table and probably doesn’t want to hear us say that chips at 7am, after a full breakfast, are a bad idea. So he takes the easy way out and gets a handful of the stuff he wants to binge on and then hides in the bathroom. [/quote]

it's part of hoarding and dopamine issues. Now as I said he's at the stage where he just wants to feel secure that he has food but doesn't take it as much. We used to find pizza slices in his dresser drawer after he just had a big meal and wonder what on earth was going on. I think there are a lot of eating issues and using eating a coping mechanism for stress and energy. There are a lot of low energy times in the day for him.[/quote]
