Its been a long while since I last posted on here, but I've not had anything new to say. I've gone through several "phases", meaning going through bursts of really wanting to try new food then not wanting to touch anything. These phases have always been, some are stronger (both in wanting to try and not wanting to) than others.
I know there are many types of problems, phobias, etc but I don't think a lot of people know how difficult it is for some people to just try something as simple as an apple or a bananna.

If at first you can't eat or don't like a food, Try, try, try and keep trying again, as eventually you may.

I have recently read a theory about “an over-sensitivity to disgust” which I found very helpful to understanding my “selective eating disorder” (SED).It goes like this: Disgust is a natural reaction (emotion) which has evolved over millions of years in human behaviour and is designed to help us identify and avoid things that may look like food but are in fact dangerous or unsuitable to eat (ie.which may be poisonous). For people like us, this perfectly natural emotion which everyone can identify with, has become disfunctionally attached or associated with foods which “normal” people find perfectly acceptable.
