Erin Graham refuses to eat meat, vegetables, pasta or salad and is even choosy about desserts.
Erin is an extremely picky eater. She enjoyed breakfast foods like French toast, some fruit, grilled cheese sandwiches -- only with American cheese -- chips, French fries, crackers and lots of peanut butter, but only a specific kind.

“Still eating like four year olds”. This entire news report seems really judgmental and disrespectful.
Pediatrician told us daughter would eat when ready and she did.if her parents couldn't fed her due to lack of food Some can't afford food.we put so much on food.
@@sabriaghee6153 Don’t ever let your kids enter a “survival mentality” by basically starving them. There are mental disorders both in poverty and abundance. This is why anxiety and depression still take hold regardless of economic background. Your child probably never had ARFID, if she did, then she would’ve starved herself (which is one of the basis of the diagnosis). There are kids who are built like Anorexics because they starve themselves and have to get hospital treatment before starting therapy. Don’t downplay a mental illness because you were “cured.”

Exactly.

@Utkarsh Gupta that isn't the case here, she has a phobia of food, and not a normal i only want to eat what i want type of kid like in the old days before doctors discovered different reasons for food refusal.
@Utkarsh Gupta I'm an adult and have the same problem she has. And I really wish I could eat like everyone else. So yeah, being called a "picky eater" is disrepectful and wrong.

I have a eating disorder myself, and I don't like it that they say she is a "picky eater. " It's disrespectful and rude.
Was it a texture thing or taste thing?
@@r5ndom527 most likely texture, I used to have it when I was younger, and I tended to throw up with most foods, so either that or taste
How she just doesn't wanna say neophobia thing over and over it means the same thing
@@plusachu I’m jumping in to say I had this same thing and still struggle at the age of 33 and one of my 2 children has it with both texture and taste. I would also become so overwhelmed by food textures and tastes I would vomit in my lap as a child. I survived on mostly eggs and cereal.
Periodts
I had this for most of my childhood. I'm 23 now and things are way better, however this is not a joke. I remember wanting to try certain foods but my brain stopping me from picking up a fork and eating it and I remember sitting in a restaurant and knowing it's wrong to be the way that I am but stuck on how to fix it. I remember when I was about 6 years old, my primary school did a curry tasting session one day for our class and I hid in the toilets before a teacher realised I was missing and then forced me to eat something in front of the rest of the class because "I was being rude for not trying anything" when my brain physically wouldn't let me. I also had acid reflux as a baby and I used to get bullied over my eating habits at school and kids would either throw food at me that they knew I didn't like or even with my closest friends I would stay over at their houses and they'd ask me why I was the way I was and try and hold me down so I'd eat pizza and stuff (Now I realise they obviously weren't real friends) but things like that traumatised me and also what made matters worse is that my family made such a huge deal about it when I did try something and that embarrassed me and made me not want to do it again.
It started getting better when I was around 16 because I realised friends were inviting me out to meals and parties and I realised if I didn't eat or refused to eat then I could easily lose those friends as they'd think I'm weird and so I used to look on the menu for an item of food that was closest to something I'd eat and then try that, e.g trying a Salmon fillet because I ate tuna and thought it might be similar or noticing it came with mash potato and veg (which I loved) and realising that if I didn't like the salmon then it didn't matter as long as there was something on my plate that I was willing to eat.
I do still struggle with this sometimes today but I am getting there, my taste buds are willing to accept a lot more foods nowadays and I'm comfortable eating certain foods in front of people and I do have a balanced diet. I never realised that what I had was a condition, I thought I was just weird but back in the 2000s there was no help for me and everyone looked down on me for it. I am proud of myself for how much I've overcome and dealt with.
There may be some of you in the comments who see this and just think, "Wow she's weird" or "This is dumb". I ask you to hold back your judgement and instead try and emphasise and think about what it must be like to want to eat something but having no willpower in your head to physically pick up a fork and do it. It's been a challenge and it's taken a lot of hard work, no one is to blame but myself and I wish I never had these struggles but I'm proud of myself now for doing as well as I have and now being able to say that I have a balanced and healthy diet 😊
Hmm I wonder if my cousin has this.. she’s very similar - she will only eat chicken fingers, grapes, and cheese and crackers and she’s now 15.. I tried to gently probe why she didn’t want to eat other foods and she described it very much like you just did.. I think she wants to but her brain just stops her from trying new things… she also doesn’t like change so I think it’s also an anxiety/control issue ..
you have no idea how much this resonates with me i’m still right in the thick of it but i hope it’ll get better for me aswell
Please don't blame yourself it's not your fault :))
@@pandabear1136 That's really lovely, thank you xx
@@Hexedbug I'm sure it will get better for you and I'm so glad I'm not alone xx
This was our story. Our son wouldn't eat anything. I made him instant breakfast every day and used 2 packets to add calories. We took him to Children's Hospital, we tried everything. Oddly enough he did like French toast, pancakes and eventually grilled cheese. He started eating peanut butter when he was about 8 and poptarts . I worried constantly about his health and weight. This went on for several years. When he was in middle school he got invited to stay over at friends houses, I thought he'd starve. That's where he learned to eat cheese pizza. Oh my gosh, I was thrilled. Every time he stayed at a friend's he'd try something different. Not too different but progress was progress. Fast forward... he went away to college, we took him out to dinner and he ordered fish and chips but asked for broccoli instead of fries I was stunned.... he's now married and we all went out for Chinese not too long ago and he ordered crispy DUCK! Duck, for the love of God. I thought my eyes would come out of my head. He cooks all the time now and makes really good food, I'm beyond amazed.
My son was also born with GERD, infant apnea and bradycardia.
Sharon Martin
I wonder how he was really able to beat this problem
Sharon Martin Z
Naaaah bro. My stepson is like that and I broke him in one month. Fully in three.
Sharon Martin
PTubes... I'm very fortunate that I did not really go through this with my child but I'm certain there are many people here who would want to know how you were able to break your son of this habit within a few months
I dont like them saying she's just a 'very picky eater'
It's a phobia, it's more complicated than that
I agree, it always bugs tf out of me when people call it 'picky eating'. People like this little girl have a psychological disorder, 'picky eater' makes it seem like it's a choice they're making
Rachel right! its so annoying. It’s not her choice!
She just eat the food I’ve often ate food I don’t like
yeah it sounds like an overactive gag reflex too
@@kinsi966 Yeah it seems normal to you, but to us who have that phobia, it's not that easy. We just can't.
And it's not a choice. I swear I'd give anything to eat normally and not have to bother about food.
the reporters referring to people with this health condition as “very picky eaters” reminds me of that other video of reporters saying that children with severe social anxiety are just “shy”
It’s crazy that she’d be 17 or 18 now-
I hope she is ok now
I be 5 in 2010 now I am 16 now in 2021
What’s her Instagram
@@phantomjosh2148 erin_grahamm
she’s 18 now
i feel bad, she’s literally aware of her problem this young and wants to get help. that’s so sad she recognizes what’s happening. i thought she was just being a brat about it for a second but she’s not!
Kanea Douglas food gives me panic attacks sometimes lol
The fact that she's aware of her problem this young means she has a lot of time to work on it. She'll probably be O.K. by the time she's an adult.
I’m almost 17 and still this way I can’t eat fruit or vegetables it’s looks good but when I try to eat it it makes me sick
@Sand Man She's not a brat, she's afraid of most food due to a psychological trauma. If she was a brat, she'd only eat stuff like pizza. But trying thing makes her physically sick.
@@sierrashoemake518 because you are picky
if she eats only breakfast foods, why not give her breakfast foods all the time?
Srsly though...
MasterOfLaughtur i think i would enjoy waffles, pancakes, french toast, and eggs for dinner every night.haha. breakfast for dinner is the best!
And bacon! Mmmm donuts.
that's not a healthy diet. she needs a variety of healthy foods especially since she has a ton of growing to do.
im not saying its healthy, but at least at that point shes eating.
I'm 16 and have this same disorder and its comforting seeing it brought to light. everyone has always tried to tell me I'm just picky and I need to grow up but it's a genuine mental issue and makes life extremely difficult. It makes me glad to see other kids can get help for this.
I have this disorder too im 15 but nobody in my family takes me serious like its so sad me and my boyfriend can never go out for like dinner dates cuz i wont eat anything most of the time it can really affect lives
The reporter was really being rude. She has a condition. “Are still eating like 4 year olds” You don’t get to disrespect and judge people like that smh 🤦♀️

I think she's a supertaster also
She seems so sweet, I feel bad about her condition and I find it disrespectful that the reporters are calling her picky when she can't even control it. Not to mention, she really doesn't WANT to be like this :/
If she has a medical condition clearly it’s not “extremely picky eating”
i love how the mum admits they treated her like she was just picky and then they realised that wasn’t it
Tell tale sign they enabled the behavior early on...
They,re good parents
@@MrsBax They already tried being strict and it got worse. She has stomach problems. If you’ve never had such issues, then stay quiet because it can hurt terribly and affect your mental health even for adults. Stress from being shamed would just cause more acid and make her condition worse. I’m glad she has great parents who understands this and actually helps her.

She probably developed the fear extremely young do to fear of the pain that happened every time she ate when she was little. She likely learned real quick a few safe foods that didn't cause her pain.
You are very right. This is an eating disorder called ARFID: Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. It was added as an eating disorder to the DSM-5 in 2013. It is a mental disorder. People who have this would literally starve themselves them put what they consider an unsafe food in their body. See this video to better understand what ARFID is: @4d-k
That's how I develop the fear. I only eat spaghetti soup salad fries pickles tomato most veggies most fr fruit and crackers
My son only ate pb and j sandwiches as a child
Or is she smart? She doesn't want to eat things that exacerbate her agida.
Duh! There are grown adults who continue to eat crap that disagrees with them and then they whine about the pain they are in!
It could be but, in the video she said she ate grilled cheese sandwiches but such in a certain way so it's not the texture and with the peanut butter she just liked certain brand so IDK if that could be true
That little girl really is blessed to have parents who did this for her. So many kids with everything from anxiety or sensory disorders to acid reflux or paralyzed stomachs/intestines get severely abused because their parents just don’t care enough to take a second and wonder why or what if.
I have arfid and my parents yelled at me. I wanted to eat but if I ate I might vomit and that scared me more than anything
@@ellyottsnotokay2254 aww I'm sorry hope ur parents go to jail..
Ashes x2 parents also assume that problems like this are behavioral and not medical, missing things that could cause permanent illness or death like from an ignored #bleedingulcer that got so severe that the person dies.
Completely agreed as someone who had terrible reflux due to an anxiety disorder . My parents said I was over reacting and forced my to eat. Always yelling at me for something I can't control
all these human sacrifices on the altar of a false sense of universality that proper service requires
If anyone has questions about this disorder, I have been suffering from ‘food neophobia’, now more commonly know as ARFID, or Avoidant/Restrictive food intake disorder, for 17 years now. Feel free to ask me anything as a reply
i have questions so im only 13 and i think ive had this my whole life, but ive never been diagnosed.. everytime i go to the doctor they tell me im okay.. ive probably ate around 70 different foods my whole life.. yesterday and today i searched up everything about ARFID and now ive developed really bad anxiety and ive lost my appetite..... so do you think i just have really bad anxiety which makes me feel like throwing up when i eat ANYTHING? or is it something more serious? this has kinda been happening for the past month.
another thing is, i dont know if i get my nutrients if i eat foods like:
bread, quesidillas, grilled cheese, pb&g, i eat salads too, literally every type of fruit, almonds and peanuts, and i eat pizza, french fries and other junkfoods too. OH AND i also eat some veggies like celery, cucumber, carrots, lettuce, spinach along with smoothies. but im afraid to try new foods because i will gag at the smell
The “still eating like four year olds” comment is like telling a kid who broke there arm to just
“fix it”

This happened to me for around a year. The first month was so difficult. I could barely even swallow applesauce. I had extreme anxiety with eating anything solid. I needed to eat alone and with lots of water to help me wash down the food. I'm not sure why sweets were okay for me, not "actual" food though. Thankfully I have recovered almost completely, but it was the worst thing ever. I could never wish this upon anyone.
Maybe they could also offer her breakfast at dinner so she'll eat more
She might be hypersensitive to food, she didn’t like the texture of tomatoes but she likes fruit like apples and bread. She only likes some textures of food
That's what afrid is basically
They tested that

Although I can't relate specifically to being that "picky", I've had my share of issues with food and a lifelong struggle with anxiety so I can feel her pain so much. She's doing so good honestly, this video resonated with me so much. I'm so proud of this little girl

She didn’t say that, her mom said that.
She wasn't the one saying that doe
People commenting who don't have this condition have no idea what they are talking about. It's not that you don't want to eat; you really do. But imagine that just about everything makes you physically wretch. That's what happens, you try new foods, it gets to the back of your throat and your tongue literally throws it back out. It is so painful, embarrassing and debilitating, that eating when anyone else is there becomes a nightmare. You very quickly identify what you can and can't eat without throwing up. You try the very best you can and it can take years to add just one food to your diet. I have suffered with this my entire life. I have tried hypnosis, counselling, kinesiology and desensitizing therapy. Nothing has worked. It is a constant 'thing' in one's life, and folks mouthing off about how it is just being 'picky' or juvenile don't have any idea what a pain in the butt it is.
Exactly. People really need to understand that it isn't all that simple.
your right
Then wouldnt it be something to with the taste buds or that specific part of your brain? I would think that in 2016 they could run some test and narrow down the problem. Like finding out what foods you do eat and see if their are similarity in taste or texture between them. This girl seems to eat alot of sweets. Its been proven that sugar is very similar to cocaine in the way it produces serotonin in the brain. Could she just have an addiction to sugar?
I think im battling with the same thing....maybe u can inbox me n I can ask you some questions bout it...
Dark Souls You make some interesting points. Sugar is the devil every which way...lol. However, as to research, there is currently a major research attempt being made by Duke University. Many picky eaters are probably what is known as 'supertasters' (my son PE is definitely a supertaster, he can literally identify something that has just been in contact with something else. As a child he could pick up a toy and say what the plastic was made of and who was the last person to touch it).
It is an extremely complex issue and most PE are looking forward to more research into our condition.
At the beginning of last year I struggled with eating due to panic attacks due to emetophobia (fear of vomit). It was the most painful thing ever because I was so hungry and I all I could do was sit and stare at my food while hysterically crying. I hope this girl is better and healthy.
I think if she herself tells her mom that hey I wish I wasn’t this way I think that’s more of a psychological problem not just a kid who is picky
I die a little bit inside whenever this sickness is just called being a "picky eater"
That’s what it is

@@JohnPMitten what
idk why this needed a new name, it’s already a thing, it’s called ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and it’s an eating disorder.
They said she have acid reflux since she was a baby. Oily food causes acid reflux. Some vegetables also causes acid reflux/gas. Avoid sour stuff. She's scared of the acid reflux that happens after eating.
I have always had severe gi issues and I can confirm. Acid reflux is no joke. When you’re a kid you can’t comprehend why you are constantly throwing up in your mouth or why your stomach and throat is burning. Just that it happens after you eat. So you don’t want to eat anything. Especially not pasta and vegetables. I hope she got the treatment that she needed for it.
@@oppaloopa3698 I'd get acid reflux all the time. Multiple times a day usually.. so i stopped eating.. acid reflux was very painful.. but I watch what I eat and I'm better now and only get it a few times a week :)
Yay only once a week now
I was curious as to what the reasoning was that she was afraid of eating, glad to hear you know her personally and know that's the reason..
Meanwhile they are feeding her tomatoes which are acidic.

I did! :C
superbest hest Same..
"Picky eater" wtf man? This is a serious medical condition. This isn’t just a kid not wanting to eat certain foods this is a really serious thing that could do a lot of damage,this is just rude this lady needs to take things more serious :/
I am a person with food neophobia and I am so thankful my parents do not force me to eat things I don’t want to. They only encourage me. I hope to improve in the future!
I feel bad for these people. I have the opposite problem, I eat everything that is put in front of me 😂😂😂
Marissa same haha
Marissa lol I eat a lot too but I'm an underweight... and I'm super tall...
Mr. Bob that's basicslly me xD
Same with me!
Mr. Bob same
It's sad that some of you think this is just picky eating. That's like saying anorexia is just occasionally skipping a meal because you're full.
EarthLoveBeth I have a kid who was exactly the same, it's not indulging a picky kid, it's way beyond that. As a parent, at least for me, number one priority was CALORIES. I should have owned stock in Carnation Instant Breakfast. I bought it by the case.
In addition my son was in the 90th percentile for his height and in the 5th for his weight.
EarthLoveBeth why? She doesn’t have an eating disorder she eats food she’s being very picky
PanPan -you missed the entire point of the piece. She DOES have an eating disorder. That's why she receives treatment in an *eating disorders clinic*. Imagine if every bite you took, you knew there was 50% chance of being poisoned. You'd be scared shitless of food, especially new foods. That's how her mind works. And it's not that the parents did something wrong. It's that her earliest memories of food are memories of intense pain and vomiting.
Gemma Rendell your not taught many things in school, think about this then. School is known worldwide as a big educational system, why ain’t we learning about the biggest geniuses in history,? Why would we learn about disorders that only a small population has? You think everything we “learn” in school is important? and if it’s not learnt in school it’s not important? Sounds ridiculous. We were never taught the life importance’s. I can’t remember learning anything in school which is important except primary school.
I honestly think I have the same thing. Like I want to like certain things but when I go to try it, it’s like my brain tells me that it’s going to kill me or something like that and It’s so annoying trying to explain to people why I don’t like certain foods
yea its like having trust issues with food i have it sometimes but not all the time
BRUH the interviewer is so rude
My grandma would honestly murder me if I said I'm not eating.
Grandma LOLLLL!! 😂😂😂
My grandma would've put an entire carton of food in front of me and said "Eat" 😂😂😂lol

“She isn’t just a picky eater she is a *EXTREMELY* picky eater”
jamie vlogs I guess i’m an above picky eater
I hate that sentence so much
@@livindeadghoul ikr makes me hate her even though it's wrong
@@grenks6387 She's not just a tiger, she's a *BIG* tiger
I'm really proud of her parents for getting help for her and not giving up or just going to punishment.
And I'm proud of the girl for trying, because lots of adults will not.
I live a little less than an hour away from Durham NC. And I know this was 12 yrs ago. I wish we had an update on the girl and how she’s doing now
It’s so upsetting how many people’s first thought is to physically abuse the child to get them to eat :/
ccchat8 I can imagine that if this child was alive about 100 years ago. Picky eating was a major no no. Either you eat or you got spanked. I do feel that we have come a long ways since then. I too was a picky eater but not as bad as this child. I out grew it but there still some things I don't eat.
Perfect example. When it wasn't a bunch of shitty parents raising kids there was a million less disorders.. Coincidence? Lol
Uhm my parents (I’m Asian)
MAG God'z AmonG Men No mental health just wasn’t taken as seriously and many people just went undiagnosed.
@@presssquareproductions2303 exactly, she has absolute control over her parents her parents need to show her that in life not everything goes her way
As someone with chronic stomach pain, I sympathize with her being afraid of food possibly because of her past acid reflux. She’s about sixteen now; I hope she’s doing much better :)
Dowse I’m so sorry! Chronic pain sucks so much; I feel you :( I hope you can find a way to manage your pain xx
Dowse I’m really sorry to hear that. Chronic pain often times makes us feel hopeless because there isn’t really a “cure” per say, but it helps a bit to know that there are ways to manage it. I wish you the best, and remember that your pain does not define you. Good luck with everything♥️♥️
-Seedrian Sparkles- I used to eat anything I wanted until 2 years ago, I started having chronic pain it was unbearable I didn’t know what was causing it, I pretty much ate the same meals until I realize it was beef what made me sick, scallops, shrimp, once I stopped eating that I didn’t have the horrible pain anymore, but I’m always afraid of new foods now, I’m very picky when I eat out and it bothers me so much when people try to tell me to just eat a bite of beef 😕 I always say it’s not worth the pain, the person I’m nowadays is not the same I was 2 years ago..
Me too
Probably not... I’m 16 too and I have this disorder as well
Got diagnosed at age 6 and I’m not better still
Thank you for showing a man also struggling! We’re all people and it can happen to anyone!
I used to be very underweight when I was younger because I was afraid to eat foods because if they expired or weren’t good anymore, I could get sick. My parents were very worried, they even thought I might had to be on a feeding tube. Now I’m 12 and I LOVE food more than anything, I’m not picky at all, and I’ll eat just about anything :)
‘Get off the bed, FREDDY’
Me: YEAH FREDDY OFF THE BED
I love your humor tbh.
Halieisnotonfire UwU totally
❤️
I read that when she said that 😂
It’s spelled Freddie lol got em
well duh she doesn’t like that pizza, it’s from whole foods
official holy water bro the pizza from Whole Foods is bomb af
I hate whole foods but the pizza is fucking great
I'm an adult with this and it's horrific. Eating is a nightmare. Using the word "picky" is so belittling and insulting. My parents just thought I was picky so they would try to force me to eat things. It was genuinely traumatizing without intervention from a specialist. The best way I can describe it is like being terrified of spiders, and being told to eat them. Starving her won't work. I didn't eat for 4 days. It wasn't enough. "Unsafe" food makes me vomit on contact. I'm praying they can help her. I was the same way when I was a kid with mostly eating sweets, and the majority of what I can eat is still sweets. When you eat the same things over and over for 30 years, you start to hate them. I used to at least like the foods that I can eat. Now I hate eating entirely. I force myself to eat, but it's not enough and my liver isn't doing great. I'm seeing specialists, but it's not enough. This is a very, very, very serious disorder. The messed up part is that people like to tell me how lucky I am because they're having trouble losing weight. It's disgusting. I'm likely going to die early, but man at least I'm not chubby. What a horrifying mindset.
Some of yall need to get your heads out of your butts. This girl has a real problem and it's not her parents fault. When the lady described the mind of a picky eater, she was pretty spot on. You do not know what it's like to be a picky eater or have a picky eater child. I have sensory issues so I can understand a lot of her preferences. Like the only creamy peanut butter. And only certain brands. I don't know about her taste, but for me, I can taste a difference in brands of food when other people often can't. And sometimes it's gross. It is not bratty to have food preferences. Walk in people's shoes, educate yourself and have a little empathy.
Thank you! My husband has this exact problem and he's doing fine :)
+Bethany Brown Thank you from me too!
I have a sensory disorder also. I know how that kid feels! I think Arron has a sensory disorder, that is more serious!
+anglekan I can't tell if you're agreeing with me but my parents beat my butt for acting up and as a result, I respect my elders and know how to hold my tongue but I'm still really picky.
You don't teach a child to respect you by beating them. Beatings teach them to do what you want of them with fear as an incentive, not respect. Bethany Brown
Food Neophobia exists. She doesn't have it. The parents gave up too quickly.
sonicawesomeness thank you, doctor
hayleypdowd She is literally just saying "Mmm... no." She's deciding. People with actual food neophobia get physically ill when they see other food.
sonicawesomeness I agree with you. She's a brat. Her parents are coddling her.
1, she was starving herself from birth
2, she's refusing Pizza, even after tasting it
3, This is MURICA damit--jk lol
I think she's legit food phobic
The only reason a child would be spoiled and not wanting to eat is because she doesn't want to get fat, or look like one of those Photoshopped magazine models.
I think she's too young for that at this point
Okay wow this is amazing. I never knew there was a name for that. My 4 year old son is just like this.. thank you so much
I have two children with ARFID (Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), and it's very hard for them. My daughter is 13 and has done Art depicting what it's like living in her mind and her fear of choking/gagging/vomiting. This is not "Extreme Picky Eating".
As someone who has emetophobia (a phobia of vomiting) I have struggled for YEARS with food. I can eat a lot more than I used to, but I can feel her pain. I know her cause of fear of food is different, but to everyone complaining "she just wants sugar" etc, when richer foods make you feel sick, you find your safe foods. Mine are always carbs and are mostly always sweet. Muffins and cereal and my top safety foods. I hope she's doing a lot better now, it's really hard to push through.
some people dont realise emetophobia is an anxiety disorder, not just a typical phobia. my mom used to laugh at me when i was screaming and crying that i wanted to die because i had a stomach ache. i dont think people realise what we go through on a daily basis..
очень одинокий
Aw I’m so sorry, I hope your doing better :(
Peachŷ Røse I have emetophobia too! Regardless of who is throwing up, if they are next to me, I plug my ear and get the hell out of there. I’ll start crying and have an anxiety attack if I can’t leave. If I’m get sick, it’s even worse. I feel like I can’t breathe!
I have it too and I also love carbs and sweets. I love muffins and pancakes.
I only more recently learned about emetophobia but oh my gosh I really struggled with this as a kid. Nobody ever gave it a name. Everyone would say it was just a sensitive stomach or I was easily grossed out but it was more than that. Years of crying, getting belittled by school nurses, stomachaches, and starving myself because I was scared of vomiting and I finally have a name for it. I'm glad to say I'm doing much better now and have been doing great for the past 8 or so years. I even love food now! I've never even shared this with anyone or allowed myself to think about it too much but I'm proud of myself and where I'm at now
I hated raw cherry tomatoes too.
Liuhuayue Think of antioxidant ,vitamin and minerals.
Liuhuayue I still do.
Unicorn Lady (formerly archiecook55)
I don't blame you. I'll bear with them now, but I still don't like them.
Liuhuayue I'm allergic to raw tomatoes, they are ok when they are heavily cooked, but if I eat them raw my throat swells and I get hives under my chin and down my neck, and my stomach hurts and I throw up. Part of this girl's problem may be she has an actual food allergy or sensitivity that the parents don't know she has. If she was made to eat things that made her hurt or not feel well, I can see how her mind would reject accepting food she did not already know didn't hurt her.
Chantell Scherer I think you're probably right about the allergy/sensitivity thing. I remember the video did say she felt sick a lot of the time.
She’s 9 years old and she knows that something is wrong. Wow this is going to be an incredible journey but I have a feeling that she’s on her way 🥰 . Amazing content once again 🌺🌸🌺
As somebody who has Dumping Syndrome I feel the same way. I’ve lost three pounds in one week from only eating very little a day. Food scares me, and any type of food makes me sick.
She talks so maturely for a 7yr old
7 is when kids get smart
@@delete147user agree
She aint got no damn Phobia... She's a normal kid that wants to eat JUNK!!! Stop spoiling your child and they won't act like this!

👌 🙌
Don Mcphie it was from when she was born idiot.
KitKat RolePlays Mhm but still lol
Jessica Mori but still nothing, you dont understand it since you dont have it.
Looking at her sighing really reminds me of my childhood after being told to just eat my food, those simple instruction like "chew it and shallow the food!", but then me, I cant even shallow without having water. People sometimes get mad at me for drinking water after chewing, but if I force myself to try shallowing food without water, I would just end up vomiting, and all my hard work of eating will just go to waste, and so does the food. I'm glad that her parents is so understanding. The doctor is right she'll eventually outgrow it, especially that she is very willing to change.
I started getting picky when I was 7, but later in the future I was willing to try different things and see if I like them so now that I’m a little older I’m starting improve by trying to eat more different food and get less picky. You have to try it first to see if you like it or not, if you don’t like it, that’s okay because you can just be proud that you tried it. Try to do the same with other foods you haven’t tried.
*Watches this while eating food*
Watches this while very hungry...
does drinking milk count? I mean... it smells sour and tastes sour but at the end of it, it is still milk u know

My granddad would say "It's not called food neophobia, it's called being a little shit"
+harry s Thank you! Common sense out of the window. My nieces, when they were younger, refused certain vegetables but we set them straight by showing them who is boss. The girls parents are either submissive to the girls wishes, or just don't know how to enforce rules.
Dude. I don't think your granddad would use that language
Your grandad is awesome
Ur called being a liitle bitch
+Swag King It's called learn how to spell. Little*
Understanding our children and listening to their opinions is very important. They are their own beings and as parents, we're here to assist them. In that, don't force kids to do something they don't wanna do. Instead, pay attention to it and perhaps get it checked out💛💐
I had food neophobia as a child aswell, fairly sure I was five when it started, and 7 when it ended. For a solid two years I wouldn't eat a single thing. I was mainly scared of choking and swallowing. The only few things I would eat was icecream or very mushed mac and cheese, because I couldn't really choke on those things. I was so terrified of swallowing in general, I wouldn't even swallow my own spit. I remember I would just sit in my 2nd grade class and get up every now and then to spit out any saliva I had, because I would be too scared to swallow it. I would also always start gagged randomly, thinking I was choking on a piece of hair or small bead. I was taken to the hospital many times for this but the doctors just said I was faking it because I was a picky eater. I was WAY more than a picky eater, it's a real condition and im glad this girl got the right light shown on her during this time. I remember when I was recovering from this condition, I was so excited everytime I could swallow the littlest bite of my favorite food, pizza. I'm 14 now, and I no longer have trouble eating or swallowing!
And I thought I was picky
Prastutee Nepal same lol
I'm picky but fat
My parents are like why am I so picky XD but I am not dat picky like dat girl
Same 😂
Same I will only eat certain foods but I’m not this picky
this is not a disorder this is parents who aren't strict enough, this girl is ordering her parents around!
The girl is the the one that wanted to go to the doctor so she can eat more food
+Alexandra Pieper yes it is a real disorder have you not listened or watched this video, they said this started out when she was just a baby with a case of bad acid reflux and that's when her all food refusal started?
+Tom it's a disorder and it's real as the reporter says, pay attention to the reporter.
+Gregor Krause Well, you should define disorder then. With something as psychological as that, there's no way you could assess it's not the parents' fault. Frankly, it probably is.
p.s: Definition www.google.pt/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=medical%20disorder%20definition
p.p.s: of course it's a disorder, her "food pseudo-phobia" is limiting hers and her family's lives.
i think her senses of smell and taste and sight might be so out of wack that neophobia has developed?
❤️I had a similar eating disorder! Sensory disorder. Was misdiagnosed with anorexia and Bulimia. Started really young. I feel for these kids.
You are good parents. It is terrible to have an eating disorder🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🙏🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🙏
All these people are calling her a "brat" or a "bitch" but neophobia is a mental disorder just as real as a mental disorder like anorexia. The fact is, they are I convinced that she's just not eating it because she doesn't like it or the way it looks, but she literally can't help it. When she sees a plate of food that she's never tried, it scares ever because she knows that there's no way she will be able to try it. Deep down, she wants to be able to try it. The problem is that her mind won't let her. The problem with neophobia is that even if they bring themselves to try the food, they will almost never like it because their brain will override their taste buds when they begin to put it in their mouth by saying "this will be horrible" and so it is. Just because it's a mental disorder you don't understand doesn't mean you should act like it's not one at all.
Thank you! People need to stop being such cyber bullies n leave the kid alone!! Who hates on a little girl?
finally someone understands !!
Gum bearz Way to go yet your waiting your time! Its sad yet that the way pp can be.
Yaaa, no it's just being a little brat
Player Equinox I second that. "I don't have anything to eat." She has plenty to eat. She just doesn't do it.
Her: NO I DONT WANNA EAT MY SPAGHETTI!!
Me:Are you gonna finish that or.....
