What is Nutrition Therapy for ARFID?

Unlike other eating disorders, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is not driven by concerns about weight or appearance. It usually entails sensory sensitivities, fears, and other underlying issues that limit food intake. Berry Street's personalized ARFID treatment focuses on helping individuals with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) build a healthy and varied diet.

ARFID symptoms

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of ARFID is essential for appropriate intervention. Working with a Berry Street dietitian can address symptoms of ARFID such as:

Limited food preferences and avoidance of certain textures or flavors
Fear of choking or vomiting
Nutritional deficiencies due to restricted eating
Weight loss or growth concerns in children

Guided nutrition support can transform the lives of those struggling with an ARFID eating disorder, fostering enjoyment and balance in eating.
