as much as i'm liking wandering around here with the awesome weather (and sometimes awesome company ♥) part of me wants to go back to melbourne with its horrible cold, rainy weather

Speaking of food and health issues, for the last few months I've been having these weird gag reflexes whenever I eat dinner or go out to eat. Like today I had a basil-tomato-mozzarella panini and it was really good, but by the time I got to the second half of the sandwich I was gagging even before putting food in my mouth because the idea of eating mushed, cooked tomatoes was suddenly disgusting to my stomach. It's been happening with a lot of foods lately, enough that I can't enjoy meals anymore because I never know when I'm going to gag and possibly throw up. Really the only things that haven't been affecting me are most dairy and most grains. Meat and fruit and veggies are the worst offenders, and I'm not just saying that because I don't eat much veggies or fruit. I don't gag when drinking though. My parents know about the issue, but they just kinda shrug it off as something that will be solved on its own, mostly by taking smaller bites, chewing more, and taking my time to digest food--all things I've been doing but the gagging still won't go away. I told a doctor about it, but she didn't seem to think it was a real issue unless I was losing vision while I was gagging. WTF?
LOL Actually, I think she's just the wrong doctor to talk to. I should see a gastroenterologist or an ophthalmologist, and she's a hematologist/oncologist.
