[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

Just out of curiously, how are you sure she doesn't have an eating disorder? Complaining of physical symptoms can be a major symptom. Obviously you know your daughter best, but you should take her into the ped to make sure nothing serious is going on. Good luck, I hope she starts feeling better soon!

Np - why would someone w an eating disorder gave this kind of issue? And wouldn't they keep it on the DL to avoid a parent or dr noticing? Not being snarky - geniuinely wondering.[/quote]

It's a cover for not eating.[/quote]

Fist PP here. Some people with EDs complain of physical symptoms to avoid eating. (BTW they're not "lying" in a malicious way, they are just that scared of eating.)  also if she's not eating she may be nauseous because of that as well, [/quote]

I'm OP.  DD DOES eat though. On Saturday morning she said she felt a little nauseous and then asked for eggs and avocado. Then didn't finish it and said she was still nauseous. I am wondering if she just needs to eat less in the mornings though - one egg instead of two. We are poor and she knows I don't like wasting food, but I have told her not to force herself to eat if her belly doesn't want it, and that when she's trying a new food it's okay to decide she doesn't like it and does' want to finish it.

You do need to take her to a doctor.

I am the PP, maybe the only one, who thinks there are some things you try while you are waiting for the appointment--which you are going to make tomorrow.

Yes, one egg is enough--meals need to be small.  And it should be poached to avoid the fat of frying (unless you can get good results with PAM) and the milk of scrambled eggs.  Avocado has a lot of fat, so it can be a problematic food.  You could instead try toast (white bread only) or orange juice (with as little pulp as possible).  If she wants ginger ale for breakfast, let her have it--buy in those big bottles.

Make sure she has saltines or similar that she can snack on during school and encourage her to snack on them several times a day.  Almost everyone can tolerate them.[/quote]
