We have had issues with our DD from a very early age but from what you described I think it isn't the same. My DD has a mild case of SI and it definitely is noticeable when it comes to food. Texture was a major issue and she hated meat. We just had to be patient with her and establish some rules about dinner time. She isn't required to eat everything on her plate but she is required to at least try it. What we have noticed is a few times of trying something she will finally accept it and eat it. Even something as simple as sprinkles on a shake was met with her spitting every last one out. I couldn't even feel them when I tried her shake, but she clearly could.
