It sounds very typical of FTD (mom's semantic dementia falls under the FTD category). My mom became very obsessed with particular foods...I've heard of this happening with so many others as well. They always say hindsight is 20/20! ;)Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151048661050906612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649118720488149471.post-22557221882706566502014-02-18T17:30:45.598-08:002014-02-18T17:30:45.598-08:00This is insane!

She thinks she's being healthy by eating an egg sandwich from A&w every single day. She would live on chicken Caesar salads if she could. She can't cook at all! She sees nothing wrong with eating this way. We actually misdiagnosed her as being malnourished for the longest time because docs believed she wasn't getting enough nutrients to make brain function properly. In hindsight I'm thinking, why the heck wouldn't we have wondered what MADE her stop cooking.

I know my sister cooked pastas for you guys all your lives while being raised at home. I often wondered where that came from because my mom served only mac and cheese and spaghetti with meat sauces in our home. Never ever did we see or eat tortillini or ravioli or even manicotti nor lasagna. My wife made killer manicotti and lasagna. But we can't get manicotti from Dreamfields.<br /><br />Thank goodness we found a pasta diabetics can eat that looks and tastes exactly like the real deal (Dreamfields Foods). Now we enjoy my old favorites again.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120227319078536460noreply@blogger.com
