ARFID

Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a relatively new term. If you have ARFID, you’ll strongly feel the need to avoid certain foods (or all foods). 

ARFID does not tend to be linked to weight or body image issues. It’s more anxiety about the process of eating itself. ARFID can result in not getting the nutrition and energy which you need to stay healthy. In children, it can affect healthy growth and development. It can also affect social relationships because food avoidance makes it hard to eat with other people.
