I am 42 years old and I have been a picky eater my entire life. I got called a b**ch by family members and friends for being a picky eater and I get sick from mayo, mustard, and spicy foods and I can't eat fish, shellfish, lobster, or any type of certain foods and I get stomach aches by eating certain fruits and vegetables. I was told by family members and friends that I am an embarrassment to be seen in public and that I should order the food the way it is an eat it and I get called a liar by being a picky eater by family and friends. I am definitely writing a book about it because I felt it wasn't my fault about being a picky eater and being allergic to certain foods.

Let me know when you get your book done. There have been others published already. Suffering Succotash was one. You should give your relatives a chance by asking them to look up ARFID Avoidance/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder in the May 2013 version of the DSM. You really do have a real disorder that is not your fault. Plus you never chose to be the way you are. I wonder how they would like to eat raw liver or dog poop. If my relatives treated me the way yours have I would be forced to fire them and get some new friends too replace them. Hope your book is terrific.
