I have a fussy eater and an 'eat anything' eater. I understand what you are going through. my son is now 9 and he still eats hardly anything. I even took him doctors when he was a toddler cos it was driving me mad but the doctor told me to go and not to be so stupid!!.
I done a lot of research on it and one that stuck in my mind was about why fussy eaters are the way they are. They said it was because they had very sensitive tastebuds. They done a test on a group of toddlers, they gave them a slice of lemon. The kids that were not fussy put it in their mouths and after about 3/5 seconds they realised it was bitter. But the kids who were fussy knew as soon as it touched their lips.
My son is also funny with textures of food.
Try some meals with simple taste and not too many different textures it might work and might not but its worth giving it a try.
Totally understand what you are going through, sending you a big hug :hug:xx.
