    Help me eat! Fussy eater when stressed and now its rediculous. Im starving!

    o.k some of you have read threads ive started regarding not being able to eat when up tight or stresed or over tiered.

    well im starving dont get me wrong im seriously hungry and i know i need to eat but cant. Im over stressed not sleeping always to uncomfortable got no energy from not eating and sleeping and know i should. Yesterday i ate nothing pretty much unless ya can call a cookie that a started and stopped eating something and a funsize chocolate that i thought i would throw up after eating.

    Im 7 weeks preggers no, no morning sickness but feel like i have to eat the right food my body needs or else ill throw it up. Like a lump in my throat its had to swallow what my body says no to. The texture has to be right not to crunchy, hard, cold, to hot spicey, right mouth of grains and smoothness not to much not to little depending on what it is.

    heres my no list EVERY ITEM IN THIS LIST even things that have no next to it is something my body feels ill over the thought of consuming.
    no garlic
    bread
    pasta
    rice
    patato
    cereals
    yogurt
    lettuce/ salad stuff
    no tomato
    cheese
    eggs
    lets just say dairy
    no spagetti
    beans
    lentails
    soups all soups
    no corn any type
    no roasts
    no burgers
    no hotdogs
    no rissole
    no fruit, tinned or fresh
    no toast yes i said bread but no toast smell is off smelling
    no sausage rolls
    no pies
    no quiche
    nothing to crunchy in my mouth
    No cheesecake
    ice cream
    desert type food including custard
    no cookies
    chocolates
    No cakes all types
    no pizza
    mcdonals
    subway or any other take out food including especially Chinese or Indian Mexican foods.


    PLEASE HELP me come up with something. The day before yesterday i forced down 1 chicken burger but that was it. I have my grumps on im moody tiered and starving but cant eat what smells funny or if my body doesnt like the texture off. Im so frustrated with myself and angry that my body goes like this in pregnancy but this time this is probably the worst ever time.

    HELP ME Please

    I went into woolies last night because I couldn't stomach what was planned for dinner. Bought myself a box of Cheerios - don't know why,just picked them up in the cereal aisle. They went down a treat this morning - have just had a second helping. I'm thinking I'm going to be living on them for a while. Oh, and I had a small piece of plain old rump steak last night - it was delicious.

    Porridge? Cereal? Sometimes thats all I can eat. I have corn flakes, weet bix, porridge and honey oat cereal coming out my ears, so you're welcome to come round for lunch!

    Ah bugger it, just read no cereal. Too bad no soup, I have pea and ham soup coming out my ears too, made some up the other day.


    What about... sausages? Umm... a stew? Doughnuts lol! Tuna? I have heaps of tuna too, you're still welcome for lunch!

    Pancakes? I know you like pancakes! Actually, I made some of them last night too haha!

    Sorry it's so yucky for you. I hope you're managing to stay afloat - good food for baby is important *HUG*

    Maybe trying a gluten-free lactose-free diet might help?

    You sound a bit like you might have some of the same sensitivities as i have daily. I use the low-oxalate diet (found here: [URL="http://www.lowoxalate.info/index.html[/URL]) on and off with gluten-free and i find it helps.

    I think:
    YES pregnancy is making foods seem yucky
    ....but also:
    - Stress
    - Sensitivity

    I feel you might be a very sensitive person (not a bad thing!) so you feel overwhelmed in difficult situations, and food is a necessary thing, and food should be fun.

    I recommend you try the low-oxalate diet, picking out the foods that don't gross you out too much. Maybe try gluten-free for a bit too - the bread is very different to wheat bread and it's not likely to upset your stomach.

    I hope things become easier for you.

    That's a great thing with BB, you can vent and get it out of your system. Try and get some rest but see the Dr if your throat isn't any better tomorrow.
    DD2 came home last night with a sore throat and had to go to Uni today as it's the first week back. I think a sore throat just makes you feel extra yuk.
    Hope you start feeling better soon and get some sleep tonight.

    thanks sweet unfortunately i have seen a dr two in fact nothing much said i have had this about of sore throat for over 6 weeks now, i wonder if ya have had glandular fever before if this is why the sore throats stick around for such a long time? today is read bad tho.
