Hi there! So I'm 16 years old and for quite some time now, I've been getting sick. There usually isn't any vomiting although the nausea does send me to the bathroom quite a lot for fear of vomiting. I can't really say how long it's been going on, 2-3 years if I can guess. At first I was thinking that it was because of ALL food that I ate, it just seemed that I would get sick whenever I ate, didn't matter what it was that I ate, whether it was healthy, unhealthy, small, big, I just felt sick. Later on (for the past few months) I've been thinking its chocolate, maybe I'm allergic to it. I can't be lactose-intolerant because all other diary products I'm fine with. I'm starting to think it might not be chocolate now because it's only some types of chocolate that I can't eat, the rest I'm fine with. So I don't know. The last couple of days I have been getting sick at least 2-3 times a day (again, with no vomiting) and have been either eating a very small amount or skipping dinner all together and now my parents are accusing me of being bulimic,which I amabsolutely certain I am not. I would really like some help because it's become quite a large and annoying part of my life. I don't think it should be a common occurrence for my friends to here me say that I feel sick, nor do I think it should be a common occurrence that my mother is getting calls from me saying that I need to come home from school because I feel like I may throw up and I don't want to do that at school (because you know, that's even worse then throwing up at home). Please help!

Hi Macy-Grace,
No one has replied to your post? I have to admit, when I first read your question, I too thought it might be an eating disorder, however most girls with that are hiding what they are doing, not asking for help. You do have to ask yourself though if you are self conscious about your body, or any obsessive icky feelings about yourself. We all have those feelings, but if you are obsessive, that is a different story. If so, being up front with your parents and asking for help is key in recovering from an eating disorder. I have to mention this because I have a daughter who struggles with one daily and it is no fun and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Really though, it sounds like something different to me. There are lots of things it could be, so a doctor's visit is a really good idea. There is a girl at my work who was always sick after she ate. She found out she is gluten intolerant. I happened to see your post because I am feeling the same way, and it is gradually getting worse. I guess I gotta go too!
