HI this is my first time on here as I am a new member. I have a problem? with my 5 yr old. She is ALWAYS hungry. She is only taking enzymes, and at her last clinic she was above her weight bracket! She will eat a full dinner sometimes 2 or 3 servings, then 10 min later she is still hungry. Then other times she wont eat one serving of dinner and its the same thing 10 or 20 min later "I'm hungry" My kitchen is never closed to her, but I do have rules about what she can eat. (she loves candy, and ice cream)
I also wanted to know if anyone has any great snack ideas? For school lunches or just snacks for home. Thanks
Mother of 2 daughters 5 w/cf and 4 wo/cf.

Welcome to the site! I wish I could say that about my 4 year old...she will not hardly eat anything! Sometimes a good dinner, but not often enough.
As long as her stools look good and she is gaining weight from everything she eats, I wouldn't think there is a problem...fill her up! I know my clinic had told us that Ashlee was getting too many enzymes in a day, so we had to cut back a little on the enzymes, so just make sure that is not the case if she is eating so many times a day.

We too had the opposite until this past summer. DS would eat a chicken nugget or a bit or two and announce he was full. Nowdays he's an eating machine. Yesterday he had a "snack" of sunflower nuts, peanuts and fish sticks. This afternoon his snack was a piece of bread, sunflower nuts, brownies, pringles and doritos. Both times he proceeded to eat supper a couple hours later.

I do try to get him to eat snacks with more protein. On the way to gymnastics he usually eats two or three slices of american cheese. Usually he eats sunflower nuts or peanuts when he gets home from school.
