every time I open my mouth to eat, I gag. also every time I think about food, think about something gross, or think about gagging. this is completely involuntary and had nothing to do with bulimia, anorexia, etc. this is making it almost impossible to eat sometimes, and is a real problem especially when with friends and family. what's wrong with me?
i saw on the tv show "obsessed" that this girl would gag putting anything in her mouth because she was molested as a child and was forced to perform oral. she had never made the correlation...

My grandma's uncle was like that too, he would never eat around anyone else. No one knew what was his problem until they found out he had false teeth and was really ashamed of them.

Thanks for your concern- it has gotten better but still happens pretty often. I now know it is a symptom of anxiety and always happens right before I have a panic attack. Sometimes it doesn’t result in a panic attack and just lingers for a few weeks, which is what I believe I was experiencing 10 years ago.
you need to see a doctor and figure out if you have some kind of nerve disorder that is causing trouble with your gag reflex
