andyb, yes there is a connection. food, nourishment is a big schiz issue, as it is for many pds. If you understand the underlying issues of schizoid, you can easily make the connection.
Shizs are starved of relationships, iether because of foundational relationships were abandoning and neglectful or because the love was toxic, ie loaded with intrusiveness/ demands that were inappropriate......... 'hunger' can be insatiable or aversive ~ annorexic, as you can imagine, it can go iether way. Emotional noursishment, and food nourishment .......... theres a link.
