ARFID Nutrition Support
ARFID is more than picky eating — and it deserves specialized, compassionate care. We focus first on stabilizing nutrition, then on gently widening what feels safe, in close coordination with your child’s therapists and physicians.
This is bigger than “picky,” and you know it.
The restriction is affecting growth, energy or daily life, and the usual advice hasn’t touched it. ARFID is real, and it’s supportable with the right team.

How is ARFID different from picky eating?
ARFID is a recognized eating disorder marked by restriction severe enough to affect nutrition, growth or functioning — beyond typical picky eating.

Yes. With a coordinated team and a paced, compassionate approach, children can stabilize and gradually expand what they eat.
How does nutrition therapy work for ARFID?
We protect nutrition first, then support gentle expansion and reduced food anxiety — always at the child’s pace.
Do you coordinate with therapists?
Always. ARFID care works best as a team, and we collaborate closely with mental-health and medical providers.
Do you manage feeding tubes?
