UNC Eating Disorders

Today's #ARFID truth: Food restriction associated isn't motivated by weight & shape concerns. People with ARFID typically restrict because of disinterest in food, sensory aversions, or fear of GI problems like choking or stomach pain. #EDAW #edawareness #pickyeating

#ARFID (aka #pickyeating or #selectiveeating) is a lesser-know #eatingdisorder & #feedingdisorder. It affects all ages & involves restricting amount and/or type of food. This #EDAW we're posting info and answering common questions about ARFID and picky eating. Follow for more.

To dispel myths & misconceptions about #ARFID, we're sharing one ARFID truth each day until Friday. Today's truth: ARFID has serious consequences, which can be physical and/or psychosocial. #EDAW2023 #EDAW #edawareness #NEDAWeek #NEDAW #pickyeating #sensoryissues
