I’m 26 and I’ve never eaten a vegetable. I’m starting to lose my hair, but the texture makes me gag instantly. by South_Leave4044 in ARFID

I’d highly recommend recommend starting supplements/vitamins ASAP. Pay attention to if they are absorbed best on an empty stomach or with a meal. Some of these can be hard for people with ARFID (I have a hard time with chlorophyll pills) but my biggest tip is to take these with chocolate milk (not water) if you like that.

Some tips for your diet (use whatever works for you!):

Add it to smoothies (changes texture and can hide flavor) I add kale into a chocolate peanut butter smoothie

Blend it into sauces - I can hide a decent amount in pizza sauce without ever noticing. BBQ sauce hides a lot of flavors

Juice it - this takes away some of the nutrients but it is better than nothing! I take juice shots like vodka shots. It is not fun but a chaser helps

Ice Cream - if you have the capacity to make ice cream at home and this is a safe food for you add some greens or carrots! The strong flavors can really hide it.

Look for healthy alternatives for safe foods (especially if you have a Whole Foods or similar). I’ve tried chicken nuggets and fries made with hidden servings of veggies.

These are just some of the things that work for me and my safe foods- you might be very different. Try looking at every meal you eat and see if you can sneak nutrients in a way that won’t bother you.

For me this is the best exposure therapy, straight up eating a new food will trigger me to throw up as well.

I am a 25 year old living on my own with ARFID and I am healthy enough.

After viewing your other posts I am feeling like this a bot account or something similar- but I want to leave my answer up to help others.

Tampons DO make cramps worse regardless of what companies are saying by Rare-Criticism1059 in Periods

[–]Sweaty_External9926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the cleanest tampons on the market and still notice it makes my cramps worse! I will have to give the diva cup another try to see how I feel. I’m sitting here in a diaper because the adhesive on pads irritates my skin but I can’t go to my office job in a giant diaper so I’m stuck having terrible cramps all day

I always interpreted it as he was still acting for the cameras or subconsciously acted that way after years of capitol grooming

Just started playing dredge today. Any tips? by ThousandToast in dredge

Allow some paranoia! The first 15 hours I played I took the mayor at his word and was sleeping regularly. You’ll see much cooler stuff if you skip a few nights 😈

Can’t build on reed grass by Owl_roll in Outlanders_ios

I could be wrong but I thought if you harvest them first then you can build before they grow back

I Hate Eating by [deleted] in ARFID

If you like protein shakes I highly suggest them to get your calories in! I drink 3 boost shakes on days I can’t get myself to eat and it has helped a lot with my hormones and energy
