different between cibophobia vs anorexia

English

Noun

cibophobia (uncountable)

1. The fear of, or aversion to, eating or food.
   • 1981, M. J. Renaer, Chronic Pelvic Pain in Women, Spring-Verlag (1981), ?ISBN, page 134:

     The pain pattern is so intimately related to the ingestion of food that the patient will reduce the size of meals, become reluctant to eat, and even develop frank cibophobia.

   • 1993, Marion Eugene Ensminger & Audrey H. Ensminger, Foods & Nutrition Encyclopedia, Two Volume Set, CRC Press (1993), ?ISBN, page 423:

     Cibophobia differs from anorexia since appetite may persist but the pearson fears eating because of some associated or subsequent discomfort.

   • 2013, Max Hill, "Fear Factor", The Peak (Simon Fraser University), Volume 145, Issue 9, 28 October 2013, page 15:

     This condition arises from cheese-related trauma (I'll leave it up to you to imagine what this might entail) and it's often considered a subcategory of cibophobia.
