Food Selectivity treatment in León

Food selectivity is a pattern in which a person, often a child, accepts only a very limited variety of foods and rejects many others because of their taste, texture, color, or presentation.

How it shows up: A marked refusal to try new foods, very restricted diets, and tension at mealtime may be observed.

When to see a doctor? It is reasonable to consult when eating is so limited that growth, weight, or nutrient intake becomes a concern.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician assesses food selectivity and, depending on the case, the pediatric gastroenterologist or the neonatologist collaborates. If meals become a constant source of conflict or worry, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional.
