Hopefully one day in the very near future she'll at least start eating her "safe" foods again.shereehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904593196654715011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-90722302667183684602010-08-04T19:59:22.678-05:002010-08-04T19:59:22.678-05:00Don't know what to say, but I know you guys wi...Don't know what to say, but I know you guys will get through this like you have everything else.

Now, I've been reading long enough to know that NOTHING about your dear daughter is typical, but, I know from watching my own kids who are nothing more than picky eaters, sometimes, they don't eat much and others they eat EVERYTHING and then some. Ride it out, but trust your gut. Good luck!Any namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911874028768251056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-90401906616760588802010-08-03T08:36:47.446-05:002010-08-03T08:36:47.446-05:00As a former peds RN, currents SAHM of 4, and suffe...As a former peds RN, currents SAHM of 4, and sufferer of difficult to treat atypical migraines (wrote to you about that before) I follow Kaytar with great interest. Would it be a stretch to say that she's self treating herself now with a pseudo-ketogenic diet? Kids are so very smart and often know more about what they need than we do.<br /><br />Anxiously waiting for the next installment. She is quite a kid. Your family is wonderful! I thoroughly enjoy coming along for the ride and learning on the way.

It made me realize that my food issues were more than just an annoyance, and I'm working on making sure I take in enough calories. <br /><br />As to this post, I'm wondering if she might be a supertaster? Beyond tasting bitter more strongly, they can also taste sweet more intensely. I'm one, and I remember around her age I went totally off sweet things as well.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734782407843353637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-59738521118080058462010-08-03T01:27:32.832-05:002010-08-03T01:27:32.832-05:00she's just a total little mystery, your girl. ...she's just a total little mystery, your girl.

(She was already dying of cancer.) She said that everything tasted too sweet, which my mother didn't make much of. But when she was admitted into palliative care, they diagnosed her with oral thrush. Presumably the strange flavour was a symptom.<br /><br />You actually don't have to be that severely immunocompromised to get oral thrush, though it is unusual. I had a similar infection a few years back, with no apparent cause. And who knows what Kaytar's eccentric diet does to her oral flora...Allisonnoreply@blogger.com
