My name is Frazer and I'm 39. I have had selective eating issues my whole life. As a child I lived on tomato soup (only Heinz) and cereal. The list of what would be fair to call "safe food" has grown over the years and I can enjoy a varied diet however it rarely involves fruit and veg. My biggest issue is the textures of foods which make my gag reflex react. This is worst with foods like pasta and vegetables mainly. I will have vegetables in soup but they need to be chopped fairly small so I don't have to chew or blended. The only veg that I enjoy are roast potatoes and chips and I will avoid any others. I feel under immense stress when for example through work I have to go for lunches or dinners and instantly see there is nothing I will enjoy. However being in these situations more in recent years has forced me to try new foods but sometimes my gagging has been really tested. I have had enough of this affliction now and just want to like most normal foods like pasta', rice and veg and be able to gain weight as I have always been at the lowest end of the health weight scale. Glad to know I an not alone. Has anyone ever tried hypnotherapy and if so did you have any success.
