The smell of a banana, the peel, and seeing someone squash it in their mouth completely disgusts me. I have taken the initiative to see a hypnotherapist this week.

To me, it tastes too sweet, sets my teeth 'on edge,' simply doesn't taste good. Not wild about the texture either, by the way. I have no other aversions to food, just fruit.

Although I don't know of a name for it, I know it has to be a condition. My specific aversion is to uncooked fruits or vegetables.

The "problem" started when I was 3-4 years old, I don't even remember it.

Especially when others are eating it. People who love me DO NOT eat fruit around me. I can eat some types of fruit, but only if no one else is around, and if no one else has touched it.

She has tried it since being the good girl that she is, but has never gone back for a second try. She has never eaten lollies or sweets that are fruit flavoured, she wont eat tomato either.
