He was fine as a baby and a toddler with food, then started rejecting items over the years and no amount of gentle persuasion or the odd bit of blackmail would make a difference. He literally eats boiled white rice, milk with his breakfast cereal, and Pringles. Oh, and chocolate.😢 He's seen various specialists regarding this over something like a period of three years, until we ran out of options. He's sixteen years old. We were told that some people with this condition never get back to normal eating as adults.

I can imagine. Serious question. How do you cope? I can't think of many beige food items. 

When I said he eats all things beige that was years ago! It's just what we would say to people and the first thing that came to mind after a couple of beers...  Anyway, I've posted further to your reply.

Do you think , some parents " cowtow" to kids food habits ? . Let them get away with not eating certain food . It then becomes the norm for them

It's like all these Vitamins & Mineral ads for kids . If they ate a balanced diet , then these shouldn't be needed . There are rows of the things in places like Boots .

Anorexia was at first thought to be a food fad. We know very differently now.
