[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar situation with an 8 yo with food allergies who cannot eat what everyone else eats. My child has actually become depressed and acts out because of this. I realize that theoretically you would think a child would be happy to eat more than rice and beans like in some countries, but that is not the way kids work. We actually are in therapy because the food allergies have led to very low self esteem, self-loathing, unhappiness, etc. When they write, they write about food - its a cry for help and trying to work through their feelings. Take it seriously. Now that they are 8 they are realizing how much it sucks not being able to eat what others can. [/quote]
