highly sensitive food intake

I am a first time mom to a now 20 month old son, Gio. He was born at 34 weeks, can be considered a preemie but he was born strong such there was no need for incubator. I has placenta previa as such, he was born through CS. I breastfed him for 3 months and mixed feeding for another 3 months until he was completely drinking formula. He has skin asthma and frequent bouts of Bronchiolitis such, was given a hypoallergenic milk. Even when all researches said he can start eating solids at 6 months, we might have started him with pureed food about 8 months or so. we started giving him rice and strips of vegetables at 1 year old. However, he didn't eat meat. As a mother, i started worrying a few months back that he might not be getting enough nutrition because of his refusal to eat meat or leafy vegetables. Anything that stuck in his tongue, or teeth or has rough texture he refuse. This prompted me to ask his pediatrician. It was not evident that we have this concern because my son was active and was gaining weight. Nonetheless he was endorsed to the developmental pediatrics. To be properly evaluated we were asked to video how he eats on a regular setting for at least 5 mins and then we were asked to bring food so they can see him eat. When we were at the clinic, they tested a his motor skills and his speech at his age. At the end of the exercise, he was found out to be "highly sensitive to certain foods" and we were given a guideline to follow and were advised to see a nutritionist. Thus, this journal. Aside from the food concern, we also had him tested for development, since we were already there. the result of which will be given today to my husband that i will blog about and record. I will do this to keep track of my development as a mother to my precious gift, and to keep tabs of his development as well, primarily. If somehow, this will become a benchmark of information to someone somehow, then that would be awesome.
