Hello and welcome.
No apologies required. In such a situation you should try a different approach like try different things which she might like, instead of solid food you can try to grind the food and give her semi-solid or liquid food which will have less chewing.
Give her fruit juices which kids normally like. Kids at this age always trouble to eat and it is all about reaching common ground on what they like and what is healthy.
Best wishes.
