There's no one size fits all diet. There just isn't. Plants might be nice for some but if I eat too much fiber my IBS ruins my day. Someone with ARFID eating chicken nuggets for every meal is making the healthy choice for them. You are setting people up to fail and starve this advice is worthless.

My younger son has ARFID, too. My deepest sympathies to you all! He’s 15, so he’s starting to gain the ability to “mind over matter” enough to try new things occasionally, but still reacts badly to people pushing things on him. If she’s having trouble getting iron try this, son can’t taste it.

Jenn, have you researched ARFID?
"avoidant restrictive food intake disorder" is becoming more widely known & researched. It's connected to adhd/autism.
It can get pretty serious.

This is so frustrating. If it's a good day/week maybe you can eat more difficult things, be more flexible. But if it's a bad week, if your belly is a twisted knot, you truly can't. With ARFID, it can be easier to fast than eat a painful thing. Hello, underweight! Why are you so picky, they ask. 🤬🥺😔

A busy day of CPD continues with ARFID training now underway! ARFID is supported by funding from the National HSCP Office as part of a joint CPD funding submission with @indi-dietitians.bsky.social We hope everyone has a fantastic day! #iaslt #iasltcpd

I don’t have arfid, but I have a very finicky stomach that can only handle food chewed to pudding consistency.
Friends and fam are always trying to get me to sample some weird concoction they’ve invented “just for me”and I have to insist they leave me the fuck alone. 🙄

I found an electrolyte powder sold in stores that won't overdose me on vitamin b6 (it's propel; fuck you liquid IV) that I can drink 🥳

My daughter is autistic and the one sure thing she'll eat is Barilla Protein spaghetti w olive oil and parmesan. Has to be that brand and type. Her ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) is bad enough that she's often underweight. Yes, it's smaller than losing health care, but it matters.

I have two kids with special food needs and ARFID symptoms. Nothing but solidarity from here. It has to be the right shape and texture and everything. For example, for youngest regular rigatoni are fine for spaghetti, but for making a pasta salad, which he will eat and loves (and it's basically

Could people just NOT when it comes to thinking they'er being helpful when someone talks about food aversions? People with food aversions ESPECIALLY when it's ARFID cannot just get over it or eat something else. If there is one particular brand or version for the food they will it THAT IS IT.

Ugh, that's awful. My son used to have ARFID (still pretty picky at 21, tbh), and it was hell on earth to try and switch up his diet before he had gone through a lot of food therapy. I hope your son's able to access his comfort foods at a reasonable price.

I feel the sickness and pain of having an empty stomach but the act of eating even just a cookie makes me feel worse. I have to wait for the intensity to pass before I can eat otherwise I’m forcing myself… and that’s just as bad. 😞

I think the two biggest contributors to my feelings of therianism are both just how out of place I am in the area I live in, and my sensory issues that cause everything to smell bad and also causes ARFID which makes me eat different from everybody else.
My body feels human but my soul feels alien.
