Is this new?: Is this new? Has he always had this problem? Has he been sick? Has he had a gagging or choking episode? If so, this may make him fearful of eating. It sounds like he needs a swallowing and chewing evaluation by a specialist who can review those answers, examine him, and observe him eat. Please start with his pediatrician.
