Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)

ARFID is when someone avoids certain foods, limits how much they eat or does both.

Beliefs about weight or body shape are not reasons why people develop ARFID.

Possible reasons for ARFID include:

• negative feelings over the smell, taste or texture of certain foods

• a response to a past experience with food that was upsetting, for example, choking or being sick after eating something

• not feeling hungry or just a lack of interest in eating
