my 5 yr old daughter won't eat

hi.          well i don't know were to start. every time i feed her she begins to gag. i tried giving different foods but nothing helps at all. i'm so worried because she is so tiny and skinny. every time i see her its like she's loosing the wait. she only wants to eat junk food. and it kills me that she won't eat so i give in and give her what she wants. i don't do it all the time. but it concers me alot. i'm really scared for her i think she has an eatng disorder. please someone help.

You said it yourself, 'so I give in' she knows you will thats the issue, some' junk' is okay sometimes, if you dont buy it she wont get it. Take her shopping and tell her to choose some nice reasonably healthy foods, yoghorts , puddings, pastas, chicken nuggets, fish fingers, at 5 year old she can help you in the kitchen and dont make too big an issue of it.Good Luck there are many posts on this ,scroll down .
