He will only eat, yogurt, custard and mashed vegies and meat. He wants to try everything, but can only lick food, and if he accidentally bites anything, for example a chip, he gags and throws up. When he was 1 he was chewing everything, but then he started having problems with his bowels. I kept taking him to the Doctor and they never picked up anything serious, until he had a hernia repaired and they found a massive blockage in his bowels and had to have surgery to remove it. As the blockage was there for 12-18months before it was removed, he lost all ability to chew his food. We have been back at square one and I need any help full advice you can offer. Loading...
