Food issues

Hi all,

I was wondering if i could describe the issues ive had with eating in general all my life, and see if it rings bells with anyone?  Basically i go through spells of not being able to eat because food doesnt "look" right, it doesnt look how i think it should look - either the shape, colour or texture just doesnt feel like it should. Also if the packaging isnt perfect, or isnt how it normally looks - then i just cant process it, its like a total block and i end up feeling like theres just too much information whizzing through my head.  Other times i seem to be able to get past it - but thats not so often.  Im waiting for my assessment, likely itll be a while, but my food problems are one of the longest and most intrusive problems and one of the main ones that made me seek help

Thanks all

    I hate chewy food, dry food and basically anything that has a texture that sticks to your mouth like kidney beans, falafel, that kind of texture. I have to have everything with a gravy, sauce or something wet. If I eat anything dry like cake or biscuits I have to have milk, lassi, nut milk or tea. Certain things like aniseed, fennel, liquorice, chervil or tarragon make a sort of painful sensation so I avoid them.
