Why Does My Granddaughter Vomits At The Sight Of Food?

My 5 year old granddaughter always vomits at any restaraunt with the sight of food for the smell of food or as soon as the food arrives to the table. This is very embarassing because as much as we try to make it to the ladies room, she leaves an embarassing trail behind. I know this is not normal, but what causes this.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The behavior from your daughter definitely requires Cognitive Behavior Therapy(CBT). She has developed obsessive compulsive behavior. You need to look back to understand the reason. There must be a definite cause. Understanding the cause the treating the behavior with desensitization therapy (part of CBT) should help. Consult a trained psychologist/psychotherapist.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
