My gray tree frog doesn't trust me anymore!

De-stress him (!) and take him by a vet.

If all is fine with the vet, leave him be.

They don't feed while molding and force feeding is always super stressfull...

Is this the same frog you originally wrote about in March? If so, it might be you that's stressing it out so much. Leave it alone. It'll eat when it wants to. Just ensure food and water is available and the viv habitat suitable.

No, this is not the same frog! They original frog I started this thread about has recovered completely and is now my best eater, in fact he's doubled in size since march.
I started a new thread about this frog.

how exactly does one "de- stress" a frog? Do you mean just leave him alone?

what do you mean, "molding"?

To de-stress, you turn off all lights, cover the tank so it's dark for a few days and he meant stop HOLDing the frog.

Im pretty sure he meant they don't eat while shedding(molting), and he said this because when you said you tried to feed while he was in shed and he spit it out. They will have no interest in food while in the middle of this process, heck my pacman wont even look at food while he is shedding. I know this because I went to feed him one night and couldn't figure out why he wouldn't eat then I noticed what he was doing so I stopped. All you are doing by trying to make him eat while in shed is really stressing him out, and you have to remember they ingest the excess skin so it probably wouldn't be the best time to force feed not knowing what is already half way down. You wouldn't want the poor guy to vomit or even choke, if he isn't eating a lot you really don't want him to vomit because then he is going to throw up the little bit of food he does eat.

Ok. I only tried that once, figured it was worth a shot because someone had success feeding a sick giant waxy monkey frog that way.
