My daughter gags on food?

Hi my daughter is 17mos old and she will not eat any table food no matter how much you mash it up.She will eat baby food and pudding.When you try to feed her she will instantly start gagging at what appears to be on purpose and she will do that until she throws up.And she will cry when she sees you approaching her with food.She drinks milk and wants her baby sisters formula.She has always been this way.And she dont seem very social either.Please help.

Answers:
I'll throw another possiblity into the mix... Could be a sensory issue... She may not like the texture of the food. An occupational therapist will be able to evaluate this and you should qualify for a free screening through your local health department regardless of income. You may want to check into a sensory integration disorder. Just another two cents!
