hello,
welcome to HCM.
from your history it seems to me that she is having sitophobia that is fear of food.normally she is hungry but when looks at food she cant take it.
it is different from bulimia or anorexia.
she should consult a psychiatrist for an excellent result.
hope this is helpful.
regards.
