Except, of course, for when picky eater =/= poor parenting.[/quote]

+1. Seriously. My daughter is HIGHLY sensitive to taste, smell and texture. I suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum when I carried DD. Low and behold DD can not stand the taste of any of those (MANY) things I couldn't eat while I was pregnant. It's not all so cut and dry.[/quote]

I also had hyperemesis gravidarum, first one I would describe in very similar ways.  Second pregnancy with zofran was a lot more normal and second child does not have the aversions.  I have wondered if that did have an impact.

One thing to think about, food in our case besides being a sensory issue, it is also an anxiety issue. Forcing new food in a new situation is a recipe for disaster.  However, I have also found that peers can be a wonderful support for trying new foods and have found that my child will sometimes try new things at school because of peers.   Her therapist, basically said don't make it an either/or by saying I know you won't like this food, but instead support trying and provide the backup. [/quote]
