Got A Fussy Eater? Help Is On Its Way
Are you or someone you love a fussy eater? Do you like a carefully chosen variety of food but you don’t want those foods on the same plate? Does your gag reflex surface if you see various foods mixed together on your plate?
If you answered yes to the questions above you may have brumotactillophobia. It is considered a mild form of OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).
In order to determine the exact issue you would need to see your physician but there are several articles you can read for more information:

You can also try to manage this condition by using special plates or food separators. Special plates initially developed to help people determine correct portion size have become popular for people who want their food separated. We have chosen a few items from Amazon that can be of help to you.
