Despite wanting to gain weight, food is disgusting, it makes me sick!

I'm really tall, and skinny, and i hate it. I want to gain weight, but i can't, food just makes me sick. And I'm not anorexic or bulimic, i just hate food! I can go a couple days without eating, and not even feel hungry. Then of course i remember that i have to eat, so i have to force myself.

Any suggestions? Is this normal?

    If you're having this much trouble with eating you should see a doctor. I had a lot of trouble for a while, still do sometimes, I have acid reflux disease and gallbladder dysfunction, had an ulcer for a while.

    I have trouble swallowing, I gag on my food sometimes and when I had the ulcer it was hard to eat anything. I had to be on a liquid diet for a few days, took me a long time to be able to eat normal food again. if you're having that much trouble it could be indicative of other health problems.

    I used to feel that way, but then again, I had a ED. Whether you have one or not... hmm, I'm a bit torn here. I don't really think it's normal, but I don't consider it to be abnormal. Perhaps, you should see a doctor so he or she can rule out if your lack of appetite is being caused by something else. Good luck!

    I wouldn't call it normal, per se.

    Try different fruit and salads, I find that I can always eat those even if just the smell or sight of other foods makes me gag.

    Try cooking yourself, mix stuff that you think smells delicious in combination. It's (almost) that simple to create tasty stuff.

    Try drinking nutritious shakes, soups, and multivitamins then increase your eating a little each day. You're body is probably rejecting food because there is no room for it. Think back to a time you enjoyed eating and eat the food you ate then. The more you easy, the more you will want to eat.

    You know many spiritual people don't need to eat food but you do need nutrients so I would do water where the vitamins dissolve and protein shakes for the weight

    Anorexic do not like to eat. You may think this is normal but it is not. Most people like some kind of food. Something is wrong and if you really can not eat go to the doctor. You sound like you have a serious eating disorder and you are in denial.
