Eating - anxiety, reflux and nausea

NAS65111

Hi - I am a newbie here.

My 16yo daughter is currently awaiting autism assessment with CAMHS - goodness knows how long that's going to take.   She has always had sensory difficulties with food and a limited diet.  Quite recently she has been having difficulties with nausea and reflux symptoms which are making it even more difficult for her to eat. They appear to be exacerbated - if not started - by anxiety. She also describes that she almost always feels hungry, even if she has just eaten.  Is that a thing?

It's really starting to get to her - she doesn't know why she feels like it and wishes it would stop.  I don't know what is the best way to help her.

If anyone has experience of this and what helped I'd really appreciate ideas.


Thank you

  • I have a load of food intolerances. Most nights I squeeze half a lemon in to water and any reflux is instantly gone. Pre-juiced does the trick too.

    But when I'm anxious I do get nauseous. Over the last 20 years, I have found eating small amounts throughout the day is always easier on my digestion. Initially I was told to do this for low blood sugar. Hope she can get better!
