Like Anorexia? Some sort of food-related disorder. I confess, because honesty is important, that I looked it up in my dictionary, but it is not there. (It is not on the scroll down list, that is.)

I think you must be correct Ts.... Cibophobia might be the fear of food! it should be noted, at this point, that phobia is being too narrowly defined as 'fear', to wit (from AHD4): 2) A strong fear, dislike, or aversion so cibophobia is more likely defined as :dislike or aversion to food: link #201386 - 07/27/11 12:53 AM Re: Know your phobia's [Re: LukeJavan8]   Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 8,961 LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel LukeJavan8   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 8,961 Land of the Flat Water Originally Posted By: LukeJavan8 Because "cibus" is food (from my Latin days), I'd say something related to food, but being a fear, is it related to fear of food?
