People who have dementia may develop rigid likes and dislikes and refuse to eat certain foods. Such people may be more willing to eat familiar foods, prepared in familiar ways. If the person never liked a particular food, he will not like it now. New foods may confuse him. If the person insists on eating only one or two things, and if all efforts at persuasion or disguising foods fail, you will need to ask the doctor about vitamins and diet supplements.
