I recently watched a documentary on ITV1 called My Child Won't Eat. It revolved around 3 familes with children at varies ages having eating problems. It introduced child psychologist Dr Gillian Harris, who has different methods to most other doctors, by telling parents not to force their kids and to try relax around meals/food.
While I found the program interesting I don't think the eating problems show were that similar to mine. My problem has not been in lack of trying, but lack of ability to not gag on the food going down. However I'm glad to see the program being shown as all increases in awareness about eating problems is good.

My problem was/is lack of trying. I didn't want to try because I instinctively knew it would make me gag. Although I couldn't have explained that to anyone, because it was never as conscious as that.
I never viewed the gagging as the problem, rather the fact that these things don't seem like food to me. To me, the not trying, the gagging, in fact everything else, follows from that fundamental issue. If I could change that, I could change the not trying, and I could change the gagging. I reckon.
