Hi, I'm trying to get some advice about my fiance. I don't know if he's jus a fussy eater or if he's got a food phobia. He won't eat cheese, eggs, cream, salad, veg, herbs, spices, or any sauces. the only thing he eats is meat and chips or roast potatoes. His biggest problem seems to be textures.. he's funny about materials as well.. he cant bear to touch velvet or velour to name jus a couple

Hiya,

I couldn't tell you if he has a phobia. Has he always not eaten these foods? or has it been all of a sudden he has started not eating them?

Hi Welcome to the site. Not sur if it a phobia or not, but I have 5 kids and they are so different in eating abits maybe it just he was brought up to eat what he pleases like lots of kids then they wont even try any other types of food. Vernon

Hi

I'm not sure if this is a phobia but I suppose it depends on how he actually reacts to these foods. Does he not eat them because he simply doesn't like the taste or texture of these foods? If so it might just be that he is a fussy eater. If, however, he gets anxious or even panics at the mere thought of eating them or when faced with trying to eat them then it could possibly be a phobia, possibly to do with the texture.

How much does this affect his life? If it is a big problem for him perhaps he could see his doctor for some help with it.

My younger brother will not eat fruit or vegetables and he has been like this since he was young. He is a fussy eater:D Nearly everyone has a dislike and maybe even fear of certain foods. It is very common.:D
