Trouble Eating Vegetables
I'm 15 and to put it out straight, i can't eat vegetables, raw or cooked.
I Try over and over again, but every time i try and put any type of veggie into my mouth, my throat kind of closes up
and i get this 'gag' reflex.
I think it is something mentally, because when i was younger, i lived with my mom, i only ate junk (pizza, fried things, ect.)
so i was used to eating whatever, whenever.Now i live with my dad and he eats all veggies, he eats healthily in every way, but i just cant do it.
I can't have any vitamins or supplements because he thinks i should just tough it out.
I'm asking this, Should I try and force my body to eat them and ignore the gag reflex, or try and eat them without touching my tongue as much? Or if there is another way you can help, could you help me out?

Monkeys don't eat vegetables, just fruit
when you cook it you gotta ADD more taste to it then you can barley taste the veggie
or tell ur dad to bring some sauce and carrot. fill the carrot with sauce and eat it

No where did he ever imply his sexuality.
Just make soup?
You could fry some in canola or soybean oil, season them, and serve them alongside your main dishes. If you like potatoes, you could try baking one and stuffing it with some veggies. Whatever you do, make certain not to reuse oil (to avoid trans fat) and try to avoid using milk or butter because of its high saturated fat content and cholesterol levels. Like someone mentioned before, you could try mixing vegetables with rice. I highly suggest that you check out the Vegan Zombie's YouTube Channel for new ideas (http://www.youtube.com/user/ZombieGate/); many of his recipes not only taste great, but are healthy as well.
make your own pizza with the veggies (it'll be really good trust me)
put veggies in pizza or fried food
Mix the veggies in your meat or rice or something.
Eat carrots. They are tasty. Or....just throw everything into the blender and add some yogurt or something

i eat vegetables and still get yeast overgrowth
Sprinkle them into your food or something then.
I have the same issue with cabbage.
Honestly speaking, I don't think it's healthy to force yourself to eat like that. Blend it or something, and slowly change the consistency of the drink until you can eat it whole.
