How marvellous to find this site. How strange to feel so much better knowing so many are like me and that in some ways I am more fortunate with the variety of food I can eat. Here's hoping in time more medical experts will acknowledge it and seek to help. My whole life(I'm 51) I have cringed with embarrassment and to be fair annoyance at others intense interest in me around the dinner table, the keenness for my colleagues to revel in telling new team members "Oh she's very strange she only eats...." instead of quietly letting me use coping techniques to get through the meal time without being a spectacle, Carole Anne the freak. I think I now have the confidence to refer to myself as having a selective eating disorder and perhaps even mention it to doctors if they were to mention a diet related issue. Thank you
