Has anyone here experienced ARFID? I've been experiencing it my whole life and I've never had it checked out by a doctor because I don't want my family finding out as the are not supportive I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced treatment for ARFID and can they let me know how they got better?

Hi Christo1679

Welcome to the Healthy eating forum. I don't have any personal experience of ARFID, but there is some information here - plus some helpline numbers attached in that website that you might find helpful:

Hiya! I've actually been diagnosed with ARFID and had treatment. There is a really good facebook group that I'm apart of that I find really beneficial: facebook.com/groups/3608951... I had therapy with Felix Economakis: the-heath.co.uk/therapy-pro...

I only had one session for about 2 hours and I found it really beneficial. At the end of the session he has you try some new food that you bring to the session and I was able to try all of it :). Since the session I have tried to slowly integrate new food into my diet as I go. :)
