God, I am with you here. It's exhausting and frustrating and it really causes an OCD flare up terribly. My food compulsions began with expiration dates. I remember now, at 22, asking my mom if milk she just purchased was good as a child. And it stuck with me since then.

As for textures, do you think that is a sensory problem or OCD based?

I've learned wearing rubber gloves helps. Where you sit at the table. How you eat, and, this sounds a bit ridiculous, but buying those kids plates with the separations. It keeps everything away from each other.
