Hi asadmom, sorry, I should have been clearer, I reposted the thread on the forum. Anyway, to make it easier, here's the link:
This is a place to provide information for other parents about you and your child's experiences with EN/EEN (Enteral Nutrition/Exclusive Enteral Nutrition). It is also an area to ask questions and please bear in mind that there is no such thing as a dumb question. If you haven't found an answer...

As MLP said, it's very hard to be without food... I think what helped my son the most was being able to have broth. I alternated between beef, chicken, veg and a mix of the three. Now there's pho, seafood, etc. Everything else he was allowed was sweet, the broth had a savory flavour so tasted a bit more like a regular meal. But, we also avoided, as much as possible, cooking foods we knew he really liked (so he wasn't smelling them) and not eating in front of him...
