I feel sick when I eat food. I get hungry and I try to find something to eat that won't make me sick, but it is no use. I can't eat meat because I feel sick when I eat meat. I can't eat vegetables because they are genetically modified and cause organ failure. I am already taking medicine for schizophrenia that puts me at risk for organ failure and I am not going to eat something that can cause organ failure also. I can't eat bread because the yeast is genetically modified. I can't eat potatoes because potatoes are genetically modified. What should I do? I try to not think about this but even if I am able to successfully eat, I feel nauseated afterwards. I tried eating Chinese food the other day and felt sick afterwards because I ate chicken. I tried eating today and felt sick afterwards.

hi there and I'm sorry you are suffering so much in trying to basically keep yourself alive. Is there anywhere near by where you could buy totally organic fruit/veg etc? As regards to eating meat, you don't need to force yourself, there are many other ways of ensuring you receive the important protein you need. Have you tried or thought about fortified drinks? The kind they give to people convalescing or folk who can't face food, at least you'd be getting essential nutretients. I hope something I've said may have helped you a little. Please come back and share when you feel able. LOVE and HUGS, as ever. Xxxx

I threw up yesterday and felt much better afterwards.

There are plenty of foods out there that state on the label that then are NON-GMO foods. I go shopping all the time for ME & those are the labels I look for on the foods I buy so that's NOT an excuse for not eating.

I am also cautious about the preservatives in the foods I buy & make sure I don't buy anything with MSG in it...many Chinese foods have MSG in them....but more & more aren't using them.

Paranoid feelings that sometimes can come with schizophrenia might possibly be adding to your feelings about the foods? Though there are many times when shopping that I look at the labels & realize I don't want to buy what looks good because of what's in it...it's a normal concern these days also.

Wow, you summed it up for me. I have an excuse for pretty much everything in the cupboard and only have a handful of foods that I allow myself to eat. THen if it takes too long to prepare or I just don't feel like eating it then I won't. I typically force myself to eat 2 eggs because it is one of the only foods I am not allergic to. If I am lucky I will eat another meal during the day and maybe a snack, but sometimes that is it.
