really sorry to hear all these problems.
I can relate to a bad experience of food poisoning and then not being able to eat it. I had this and then avoided that particular foodstuff for years too. then I tried a little and it was OK and that was the only thing that helped me get over my distaste.if you don't want to eat chicken, by all means don't eat it, that's not what I'm suggesting. but I think that you'd start feeling infinitely better if you added some protein and fat to your diet. any form. maybe try in v small doses?
I've had all sorts of problems over my life regarding OCD-s, phobias etc and there was a major improvement when first of all I made sure that I got all the vitamins and minerals. are you taking a vitamin supplement? but lack of protein and fat can also mess with your mind, which is why I really hope you'll be able to add some protein and fat to your diet.
all the very best.

thanks susie!
I am trying to add smart balence light, in small amounts and see how that goes, i eat it on my bagel every morning (my bagel is fixed cinnomon toast style) and i was also thinking of trying egg whites snuck into rice porridges, i'd love to try fish or shell fish but am not sure, i know that even at my most stable salmon had too much fat and so did tuna, both triggered symptoms, but i used to do prawns and have good luck with them, or white fish (cod, halibut) i also used to eat peanut butter, and almond butter, i have some better then peanut butter here in the house so maybe i'll try that, i do agree that if my body was getting some of the things it needed than my mood and anxiety levals would be helped, as far as vitemens, even at my most stable the safest pre natul or multi vitemens caused cramping and d

Although I am not underweight, I do have a food phobia because of the fear of how it will make me feel and in turn I suffer from anxiety attacks when my stomach is out of line. I do manage to eat though. Mostly I will not eat until around lunch time as I seem to have a cycle. I get up and feel ok but not enough to eat. Then I start feeling like something is wrong and get a little anxious. I eventually realize my stomach is spasming and then I have D. Eventually after some time my tummy will go back to normal and I feel ok again. Then I can eat.
By then its usually lunch time. Obviously you are eating but suffering from the vitamin deficiency. I have issues taking vitamins as they seem to make my tummy upset but if you can take them that would be excellent. Maybe you can also try mixing some of the nutritional stuff into the other. You have to take baby steps to get back to the right way if you have been a long time without. One of the only things I can tolerate as far as a green vegetable is green beans cooked down really soft. Sometimes this has been a lifesaver. If you are eating potatoes, mashed, maybe you can cook your carrots down and mix a small portion into the potatoes. You may could do this with green beans too. I wonder if organic baby food would be an option at least to get some nutrition going. I also get myself out in the sunshine as much as possible and I try to keep moving throughout the day. I know my digestion is much better when I just move around the house or out in the garden. I especially move around after I eat.....not high intensity but just strolling about as it seems to help my digestion. I am so sorry you are feeling bad but hang in there. And YAY for the gaining of 6 lbs.

egg whites, shrimp and white fish I wholeheartedly recommend, but seeing how fat can be a huge trigger, leave salmon aside for now. as for peanut butter or almond butter, even one tablespoonful contains a huge-huge amount of fat and I find that it's easy to overdose. so please make sure that you have just v little at first.
as for chicken, boiled chicken tastes godawful I agree, I can't eat it either without retching, but baking it in the oven - around 25mins on Bacofoil (non stick foil) I use zero oil and it tastes wonderfully moist. There is also the George Foreman option, again, tastes great, no oil needed.
not good about the vitamins, but there is one thing that really shouldn't cause problems unless you have acid reflux
-orange juice!! go for smooth, 100% fruit no sugar added, extremely delicious and v healthy.
boiled, cooled potato perhaps to supplement your diet too, again potatoes are v healthy and have many more nutrients than rice and boiled potato has soluble fibre, which should help with the C.
seeing how bread seems to be the mainstay of your diet, despite many people slamming bread whenever they can, bread is quite good on the vitamin front.
no vit b12 in your diet though from what I see, but if you start eating shrimp, that'll be OK. vit B12 is v important for energy. you really need protein and fat in general too. for fat, maybe tiny amount of peanut butter on bread or there's these oil sprays.
in conclusion, I suggest you incorporate orange juice and shrimp and white fish into your diet and some form of fat. If you did this I think you'd start feeling better v soon.
Really hoping it all gets sorted out for you, you know you can do it! Keep strong!

I can relate to your problems with protein. I dread eating it everyday. But I do force myself to eat it - turkey, chicken or canned salmon. I "wolf" it down with potatoes, rice or pasta. I give myself a time limit of 15 to 20 minutes to eat it and if any is left after 20 minutes, I throw it away and start fresh the next day. I have protein with my lunch only. I realize this is not a healthy way to eat but I think better than no protein with any meal. Of course I also get some protein from other foods.
Cheers
