[quote=Anonymous]I wish I had advice for you OP.  My brother has weird food aversions and is an incredibly picky eater.  Incredibly picky.  Pizza from only one place, absolutely no seasonings, no fruits or veggie, pasta with butter but he will pick off any parsley flakes.  Certain textures make him gag, etc.  He does eat enough as as he got older ate only from bad places (burgers from fast food places, pizza from Dominos, etc) and gained a lot of weight.  He's slowly losing weight now by calorie counting, but he is still an incredibly picky eater with a lot of food aversions.

I'd suggest a feeding clinic.  My mom now wishes that they existed when my brother was younger because it would have saved him from the way he eats now.

For something like this, I wouldn't go along with what the pediatrician says.  They know a little about a lot, like all general practitioners.  That's why we have specialists because they are more trained to pick up on smaller issues.  Your ped probably isn't concerned because she's still on the growth chart and she's not malnourished.
