Restricted Diets Increase Risk Of ARFID

ARFID is on the rise in adults who follow special diets

Learn how to recognize ARFID in yourself or someone you know

Hi Everyone!

Today's topic may not be familiar to you, but it is important if you or anyone you know follows a restrictive diet, either for preference or medical need, or is simply known as a picky eater.

​ARFID In adults is on the rise, and most people have never heard of it.

​Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is increasingly being recognized in adults, especially among those with anxiety, a history of trauma, or on restrictive diets such as gluten-free, keto, low histamine, paleo, etc.

These diets are necessary for many people, but it is important to recognize the signs of ARFID to keep you and your loved ones healthy! -Dr. Burkhart
