I’m not able to eat certain foods because of my sensory issues. It comes across as being “food picky.” But it’s so much more than that. Can cause nausea and a zero appetite from eating the wrong foods. On the west coast it’s really hell experiencing this

Specifically since a lot of people eat “raw food diets” here, I’ve experienced some weird attitudes about this. People expecting me to eat sandwiches with like 15 different vegetables is just hard for me. Everyone is like “it’s how u prepare veggies” but for me, I’ve tried that and it literally doesn’t help. Safe foods are the only things I can really eat sometimes

I hate being called picky because there’s foods I will eat that a “picky” person wouldn’t eat like shrimp and mushrooms. But even looking at some foods and thinking about putting them in my mouth will make me gag
