Scared of food!
05/02/05 08:23 AM

Does anyone else feel like they are scared to death of trying new food? I think I have created a food phobia and I dont know what to do. I have eaten the exact same thing every single day for as long as I can remember so that I dont get attacks. Plus since I continue to get attacks I keep taking things out of my diet and not replacing them with something new. Recently I have taken both chicken and turkey out because they were making me sick and now Im afraid to add them back in,but I need to since Im getting no protein from what Im eating. Since Ive been eating the same things for sooo long is pretty much everything going to make me sick at first? Should I just keep eating whatever it is and see if it goes away? I feel like anything new that I eat is just gonna cause my digestive system to go into shock since its so used to the same food everyday. Has anyone had a this problem or one similar to it? If so, how did you get over it? Do I need to get professional help from a nutritionist or a therapist? Im so lost! Anyways heres what I eat everyday:

Potatoes (LOTS of them - probably 6 a day)
Bananas - (1 or 2 a day)
Cereal - cocoa pebbles or other gluten free cereals
Rice muffins - banana and plain
Gluten free donuts
gluten free blueberry waffles
rice bread
mashed potatoes and gravy
egg whites

And thats basically it. From looking at these foods can anyone suggest anything that may be easy to add in? ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
