Thank you for the information. We have had the same experience with the supplements. My daughter typically is a very healthy eater too: fruits, veges, lean protein. All at her choice. I am ready to bite the bullet and try the nasal tube feed and see how it goes. Thanks for your support.

I'm wondering - since they like McDonalnd's ... maybe more going outside and try to make them make prepare their food themselves - from shopping to cooking....I 'm not saying that you shouldn't go for the shakes and others...I have no experience...
My experience is with teenagers on camps - when their parents told us they have trouble with not eating... what we did is take those kids- mostly girls I 'm afraid - and included them in making food and preparing everything (and we also made then responsible for meals and eating of younger kids - at least that's what they thought ;D ) - we made all meals on camps ourselves. We also tought them at that time about nutrition and so on... but that was on camps... where parents where away for 3 weeks and the kids looked up to us. Also older girls helped and... alot of running around on fresh air and sleeping in tents - the camp was with tents, kayaks and alot of hicking... We still go there with our kids <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Usually the problem was gone after two days <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
... aa the camp was deep in forest - no shops around...
