Problems consuming food

2018-08-23 04:02:22
Hi. I have never had a good relationship with food. In the past few years, however, food makes me genuinely sick to my stomach and everything seems to give me diarrhea. I’ve cut out gluten and lactose for extended periods of time and nothing helps. In the past about 5 months I’ve lost 11 pounds without trying. I am 5’2, 17 years old, and 97.1 lbs. At this point, even chewing and swallowing food makes me feel sick. I plan on meeting with a GI, but I am hopeless at this point. Any suggestions?

Hello. Surely it's wise to consult a specialist. A counsellor/psychologist may also help. Take care
