First time poster!

I feel like I need some reassurance! My daughter is 12 (not quite 13) and hasn't started her periods yet. She is complaining on constantly feeling sick, tummy ache. Often 2/3 times I day I have to sit with her in the loo, because she feels she is going to vomit. She's extremely scared of being sick, and this then ends in complete melt down.

She doesn't eat a varied diet, she is extremely
fussy. She's mentioned a few times about worrying about getting bigger/fatter, and is extremely worried about food not being cooked properly. But she will eat certain foods, but not nearly enough.

I will ask to speak to the GP but I wonder if anyone else is going through something similar, or indeed if this is a phase.

I feel like I'm loosing my mind and I'm concerned that the lead back up to school is increasing the stress and anxiety for both of us!

Husband is aware but as usual, being a typical male and waiting for it all to blow over.

TIA x
