I cant try new foods, does anyone have any advice? Is this a phobia?!
This will probably sound stupid but i really need advice!.
Since i was 3 whenever i would be asked to taste new food, i would gag even if i just looked at it on my plate and when i try put it in my mouth i cant swallow it!. If i do eventually eat a tiny piece i'll get sick after it!. I've been living on chips and chicken nuggets for dinner and now i've gone vegetarian so its just chips!.
I eat cereals, breads, rice, and things like that!. And i dont have a problem with trying junk food!. I know its not healthy and im starting to show signs of being sick, im weak and tired all the time, i feel faint and cold, and sometimes i just cant get up as im so weak!. I hardly eat anything because i dont know what to eat as i eat so little!.
Is this a phobia!? please someone help me!? its stopping me having a normal life as i wont go out on occasions because i feel like a kid just eating chips all the time and if someone has something next to me i'll gag!. I hate weddings and parties as im conscious of what will be there to eat and if they dont have chips i'll end up starving until i get home!.
I hope someone has an idea!. Please other then trying a bit of new food everyday because i've tried that and it didnt work!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
I would seriously seek professional help either from a counsellor or nutritionist!. I have a fussy diet but I can try new stuff - its just that invariably I don't like it!. To actually feel sick before you've tried it sounds like a phobia!. Your first stop is to go to the doctors and ask to be referred to a specialist!.

Id go see a doctor if i was you!. Not only do you have a poor diet, you also sound depressed, which isnt exactly helped by the lack of nutrition your diet provides!.
Life without curry, kebabs, and Chinese takeaways, dude, you dont know what your missing!.
By the way, what junk food dont you mind eating!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well it seems like this is a phobia, but i cannot find a name for it!. There does seem to be some things that say they will "cure" your fear of eating new food, but it probably costs money!. I would suggest to try taking a small bite of a new food and progressing every day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I used to be like you till I started travelling, there is something about it that made me try new food!. Voluntarily!.
I hope one day when it does happen to you (the travel bit) you'll be an adventureous food taster!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, if you're surviving on bread alone, you're going to gain a lot of weight, fast, if you haven't already!.
You should probably see a psychiatrist or a doctor!. They can help you with your phobia!. Can you take vitamins and other dietary supplements!? I suggest you do that until you can resume eating normal food!.
also, I'm sure you're a vegetarian for moral reasons, but I'd suggest going back to eating chicken nuggets!. You really need the protein!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
