[quote=Anonymous]My son was really picky when he was 3-4 y.o. Would basically only eat oatmeal, toast, and milk. So, we made those things available to him and also continued to present him with other foods which he mostly refused. As he got older (he's 6 now) he started trying more things, and now he eats well. In retrospect, I think it was hard for him to chew and swallow, and he outgrew those issues. I have not read the whole thread, but it does not sound like your kid needs specialists or therapists. It sounds like she needs a vitamin, ready access to reasonably healthful versions of whatever she will eat (whole wheat toast, for example), and time to grow up. You might also get a copy of the book "Bread and Jam for Francis." It's about a kid (well, actually, a badger) who only wants to eat bread and jam. I loved it when I was a kid, and my kids (including the formerly picky eater) also enjoyed it.[/quote]
