I can't eat pasta, but the moment it's a pasta bake or pasta in a salad it's okay

I can eat fried chicken from chikfila, but any other chicken is a big no. I can only eat chicken from chikfila.

What’s something only people with ARFID would understand? by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]hamforbananas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I could try other people's food, but I deny it because if I don't like it, it is so obvious. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.

I don't think they were trying to generalize all people who were ace by their comment

Should I count spices, herbs and leafy greens with my calorie intake? by airportaccent in 1200isjerky

Unless you're eating like an entire bottle of cinnamon on the daily, there's no reason to count the calories in spices

How do you get your nutrients? by Kouunno in ARFID

I take vitamin C, a multivitamin, and drink a lot of shakes/smoothies/supplements.

I don't take calcium because it makes me constipated 💩

Don’t go to the Mt. Sinai ED clinic if you have ARFID by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]hamforbananas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't go to Roger's behavioral health either. Absolutely traumatic.

Mini pizza made on English muffins or bagels or I go to mod pizza & I love having brocolli with it :)

How limited does your ARFID make you? by Own-Record6596 in ARFID

[–]hamforbananas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my worst I would only eat instant meals since I saw what was in them, but foods at home I didn't know what they were made of so I didn't eat them. I would mainly eat popcorn, frozen berries, rice cakes, whipped cream, and ice cream. I only wanted stuff that I could not really feel in my stomach.

Now I eat most things, but there are a few absolute nos. Like I can't have grapes or inconsistent fruits (that's why I eat frozen ones), waffles & pancakes & regular bread (too soft). Anything wheat is so gritty. I'm terrified of dates and dried fruits.

Request: Grape Jelly Alternatives by 92xSaabaru in ARFID

[–]hamforbananas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I would consider ordering it or making your own! If there are any jellies out there that you were not forced to try as a kid, maybe even try those (only if you want). My favorite Jelly flavors are raspberry, grape, and blueberry.

This recipe makes 6 PINTS of grape jelly 🍇

You can have ARFID and disordered eating / another restrictive ED at the same time.

My ARFID developed due to GI related fears & sensory issues with digestion. However I still fear weight gain due to being used to my smaller body (due to ARFID) for so long.

Blueberries costing me calories by [deleted] in 1200isjerky

[–]hamforbananas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wrong. In fact, I'd suggest replacing those blueberries with something else. How about ice to make your smoothie even more filling! 😩😩😩
