[quote=Anonymous]OP here and I’m pleased to report that things are going well. We’ve instituted a strict schedule for meals and snacks that seems to be helping. She’s been very good about remembering her supplements (and I remind her when she forgets). Her new doctor is amazing. She bonded with DD immediately, reassured me, reviewed her complicated chart on her own time, called me on a Saturday and spent an hour discussing all the things she didn’t want to address with DD yet. She suspects, given DD’s lifelong history of feeding issues, that the root problem is not anxiety but a signaling issue. But by slowly increasing her calories through the supplements and regulating her meals, we can help her begin to recognize her hunger and satiety cues. She didn’t discount the role of anxiety or the possibility of eating disorders but felt the best approach right now is to focus on her eating. So far so good.[/quote]
