Toddler feeding issues

[kristian's_mom]

I have never met any person with the same problems we have with my son. Maybe someone on here has and can give me some help.

My son is going to be 3 in February and he will not eat solid food!!!! Ever since he was about 9 months old, the only thing he will eat is stage 2 baby foods, and Teddy Grahams. He has a problem with textures (except for the Teddy Grahams) and will refuse anything else. If he gets food in his mouth with any texture, he will gag and vomit.

When he was about a year and a half old, we were having an occupational therapist come out to our house through a government program that helps young kids with all kinds of special needs. They informed us then that there is nothing physically wrong with my son, he was just being stubborn. I had some problems with the therapist, she came out to my house only about 3 times, and was lying to her boss saying that she was showing up when she wasn't. I was in the process of finding a new therapist, when my son was diagnosed at 2 with type 1 diabetes. So that was kind of put on the back burner.

Now that we have got this diabetes thing pretty much figured out, it is really starting to bother me that he won't eat solid food. He won't even eat Teddy Grahams anymore. The program that he was in before doesn't offer services after the age of 3, and his doctor is no help at all.

I really don't know what to do. One of these days, the calories in baby food is not going to be enough for him. And I can't just withhold the baby food, thinking eventually he will get hungry and eat solids, because he is diabetic. Help!!!!! Anyone!!!!
