I know a little too well the high from hunger and the high from puking.

But it seems to me that all this consequencing and force feeding would just increase his need to control this and cause less eating.

I wouldn't expect the rocking to make him want to eat when your done. This is a long, long, long term process.

Yes, offer him food at meals and for snack but I guess I don't see the point of trying to force it down so he can throw it up. I've never heard an eating disorder program that would suggest sitting the person in front of food for hours or using food type consequences for not eating. The eating disorder clinic itself had no suggestions or these were their suggestions?

While the high is from the not eating/puking it isn't genereally the cause for not eating. The reason behind the need for the high needs to be addressed before anything will work.

And I get that he needs calories to stay alive but trying something a few times and tossing it out won't work. It takes a really long, long time.

I know this has to be so frustrating to watch. It just seems like since he's been to an eating disorder program they'd have given you more to work with then they did.

Hope you are able to find someone soon who can help.
