My 10 year old is an extreme picky eater and I believe he is also lactose intolerant (he only drinks rice dream). I really don't know what to do after years of trying to get him to try different foods, any suggestions I'm desperate.?

I speak with parents every day that are in a similar boat as you. It's super challenging! Have you see the video about food chaining on our channel? We also have tons of resources on our website feedingmykid.com/?s=picky+eating over time, check out the different articles and videos. Not every approach works on every child and it might work in six months and not now. It's worth the effort and time and frustration... because it isn't easy! Have you contacted a Feeding Therapist? Do you have specific questions? Have you seen all the videos in the series?
