    I have a white food bandit too RB - I understand the frustration, especially since he's little

    What about smoothies - made with low fat milk but bulked with either raw egg or high cal powder?
    Ravioli?
    Going to sound silly but frozen vege uncooked - my little guy lived solely off frozen peas for 2 weeks at about that age - every kid I know likes them or frozen beans

    Another thing I found worked a treat was eating somewhere different. I know the high chair is well contained, but sometimes the sense of adventure gained by changing the eating location is continued with the willingness to try food.

    We have just been told DD2 has food issues relating to everthing thats going on and starting ABs. Her energy reqs arnt been met for a healthy child let alone one with CF (80% for normal 60% for a CF child) She said to make a lunch box of fruit veggies cheese and things like that and offer it all day so she will try things when she wants not get forced.
