What eating disorder is it when you are scared to eat because you think its poisoned?
This isn't actually an Eating Disorder as such. It's a phobia called Citophobia (also Sitophobia or Sitiophobia).It doesn't mean the person doesn't want to eat, but that they are too terrified. An Eating Disorder where the sufferer does not eat is usually more related to the body, and therefore not a phobia.One can also have a fear of swallowing, where the food isn't an issue. This is called Phagophobia.
