What is ARFID? Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. It’s an ED that has zero associations with body image concerns or weight loss. ARFID can stem from trauma, sensory needs, or a disinterest in food. It is characterized by nutritional deficiencies and/or growth restrictions, food aversions or avoiding whole food groups, and it kids do not just “grow out of it.” ARFID is different from PFD (pediatric feeding disorder) in that ARFID is a mental health diagnosis and PFD is a more holistic diagnosis that includes feeding related medical conditions and oral motor skills (including deficits in these skills). Like ARFID, PFD also often results in nutritional deficiencies and/or growth restrictions. ARFID can also be diagnosed in kids AND adults, whereas PFD is only diagnosed in kids. It is important that any child with feeding challenges be evaluated for underlying medical conditions (like allergies, EoE, constipation, reflux), oral-motor issues related to swallowing (like dysphagia), or sensory needs before a diagnosis of ARFID is made. 💬 What questions do you have for me related to ARFID or PFD?
