Hmm,sounds rather unusual.
I presume you have tried the offering,then taking away with no comment if she deosn't eat already?

I would ask GP for referral to dietician or speaach and language therapist (some have special qualifications in eating difficulties of a non emotional nature.)

Not being funny but have you ever watched house of tiny terrors, they have had a few kids with restricted eating habits like this.
