When I was a kid I was a really picky eater, I use to get into fights with my parents about it. I think for me it was more of a control thing, I was in denial of CF so I didn't want to take my pills, so I tryed not to eat too much and when I did, and my parent made me take my pill I would pretend to take them and then spit them out when they left the room. I was really young when I did this, but I wanted to be like all my other friends. You could say I almost had an eating disorder back then because I felt like that was the only thing in my life at that time I could control. I am definetly not saying this is how it was for everyone with CF, but thats how I dealt with my CF at that time in my life. I was probably age 7 to 11 maybe, I'm sure people will think I was a stupid kid. What my thought on the topic!!!

I think kids in general are picky eaters. My CFer is my least picky of all mine, but she certainly has her moments of pickiness. I think the big issue is that we are forced to focus so much more on their pickiness and worry so much more if they aren't gaining.

For me I am more of a picky eater because I can't smell the food as much as others. I'm not sure if that is common amongst CF'ers or not, but that explains me.
