Selective Eating Disorder - sounds like this is the problem!!

[Guest guest]

(used to be CHANGE THE HUSBAND'S MIND thread)

 

Wow, so after reading the posts suggesting that maybe my husband's

eating issues were due to a disorder of sorts, I did some googling and

found a really close match with Selective Eating Disorder. This is

huge. It also said that it can be linked to OCD, which makes a lot of

sense because my husband's family all have various anxiety disorders.

It is very unlikely that he is the only one of the bunch that doesn't

have to deal with anxiety.

 

So, we'll be looking into this soon for sure. I had mentioned this to

the therapist in my private session and she certainly agreed that this

sounds like what is going on. She also said that SED is such a newly

discovered disorder that there isn't much out there about it yet. I

don't know what is going to come of this yet but it does help me

understand what is going on so much more. I don't know if it will

affect his decision to eat meat again, but my thought is maybe if we

can work on this eating problem to where he can eventually eat more

vegetarian foods, he might start enjoying being a vegetarian. Though

after I say that, I remember that his main issue with being vegetarian

is the label. There is a lot to work on over here, for sure.

 

Thanks to all who put your thoughts about this out there. It has

helped a LOT.
