I am now 21 and since from about the age of 14 I have had these funny phases of where eating anything or even thinking about eating anything makes me feel really sick. I'm not usually actually sick but the feeling gets so bad that I just can't eat anymore of my meal coz it feels like I am going to be sick. These phases last for about 2 months at a time and for a week after this goes away I literally eat all the food in the house. And then it goes away for a few months and my eating is fine. I know this is not an eating disorder because I actually do get hungry and want to eat but when I think about it it makes me feel ill. I also get quite bad heart burn with this. I get more worried each time I get it as I lose so much weight with it, this time 7lbs in 2 weeks and I don't weigh a lot as it is, and losing this weight makes me feel so tired and drained all the time.
Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be and can anyone help me get rid of it & stop it coming back?

Sorry, excuse the spelling in the question. It's supposed to be 'and I don't know why'. I submitted before checking properly!

Yes I have been to the doctors about 5 times because of this. Each time they give me a 4 week course of tablets that seem to work for about a month or so starting around 2 weeks after starting to take them. Then the problem comes back again. They never tell me what it is and they never really bother to look into it any further so that they can find out what it is and give me a solution to sort the problem properly. Maybe I should go to another doc as I have always thought that mine was a load of rubbish anyway!
