Hoping your account is still active and you see this. Is there an update, my 5yo is currently presenting similar symptoms. He refuses to eat solids because he says it hurts to swallow any food, and sometimes says he can’t swallow; but is okay with liquids. We’ve had 2 strep tests done in the past 3 weeks. I can get him to drink some high protein yogurt drinks but he swishes it around in his mouth bc of the thickness. We tried pediasure but friends have said that, it led to lots of oral issues (cavities and decay) later in life, and then he just had impacted stool which I think was just high sugar content from all the ice cream and popsicles bc it’s only food that turns into liquid to able to swallow.

It’s very frustrating. I don’t know what to do with him or how to help him. I feel like the doctors are dismissing it bc it’s normal for “picky” eaters.
