I think I may have found out what Fi's problem is...
(as the title says) Hyperactive gag reflex -
I think this could be it! Fi gagged today at the SIGHT of sweet potato and yesterday she literally had one small spoon of slightly lumpy baby museli cereal and she gagged and threw up. She threw up her tea tonight and she gags and spews anything that isn't a) completely smooth b) fruit puree (shop bought) or yoghurt. She gags at everything else.
Anyone know anything about this?
I think I will take her to the doc and see if they know anything

. Everyone has a gag reflex. If you put your finger down your throat, you will find it and maybe find your lunch, too. This is normal, but if a child has a hyperactive gag reflex it can cause problems with obtaining proper nutrition. This can occur in varying degrees. Some children may gag one or two times throughout a meal, and some may gag at the sight of certain foods or other objects. Often, the hyperactive gag reflex is related to foods with certain textures the child finds offensive.
