Psychiatrist,  's  Response
I would like to know whether any other tests has been done and what are the results. Also, what is the opinion of the gastroenterologist. difficulty in eating solid foods is usually due to obstruction in the food pipe or something pressing on it from outside. If all other causes has been ruled out then she need to be evaluated by a psychiatrist.
