There are many reasons why someone with ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) might avoid food, and then end up malnourished. ⁠ Common reasons include: ⁠ 1. Fearing the consequences of eating - There may be a fear of what "will happen" to the body - a fear of developing pain, throwing up, choking.⁠ 2. Lack of interest in eating - There may be a complete lack of interest in eating. Someone might not be able to identify hunger cues and might "forget to eat." ⁠ 3. Textural and Sensory sensitivity. Textures and smells might be aversive. Food might feel too soft, too wet, or slimy. This leads to a narrow range of tolerated foods. ⁠ ⁠ The @platebyplateapproach can be used to help those struggling with ARFID to expand choices that feel safe, while expanding variety, and balance. We give case examples and talk more about this in next book, How to Nourish Yourself Through an Eating Disorder, publishing Oct 2023. More to come in future posts! ⁠ ⁠ Inspo: @theseasonedrd.podcast Check out the ⁠ Seasoned RD Podcast with expert Dr. Kamila Cass, PhD, CEDS-S - who does an amazing job covering ARFID treatments! ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #arfid #arfidsupport #avoidantrestrictivefoodintakedisorder #limitedeater #responsivefeeding #pickyeaters #pickyeater #platebyplateapproach #eatingdisorderrecovery #bingeeating #anorexianervosarecovery #bulimiarecovery #nutritionrehabilitation #refeeding #limitedeater #arfidtreatment #platebyplateapproach
