'I’ve never tasted avocado or chicken wings or pickles or yogurt or coffee. In fact, the list of foods I’ve never eaten is far, far longer than the list of those I have.'
"I’ve never tasted avocado or chicken wings or pickles or yogurt or coffee. In fact, the list of foods I’ve never eaten is far, far longer than the list of those I have.""I can look at a food and know instantly, by the way my body reacts, whether or not it’s something I will be able to eat without gagging."
I have a particularly traumatic memory of facing off with my father over some pan-fried liver. I was young, probably no more than 6 or 7. I was anemic and my mother prepared the liver to help with my anemia. But I refused to eat it. As I grew, more foods were added to my repertoire, but the list of foods I refused to eat was always longer. Significantly longer.
Once I found the Facebook support group, I knew for certain that my physical inability to swallow certain foods, and the anxious feeling I have around them, are proof positive that what I’ve long thought of as a quirky relationship with food has an actual diagnosis. I don’t need a clinician, who likely knows less about ARFID than I do, to confirm that. Decades of being faced with foods I can’t physically eat even if I want to are all the confirmation I need.
If there’s a pattern to which foods are consistently safe for me, I’ve never been able to identify it. I can look at a food and know instantly, by the way my body reacts, whether or not it’s something I will be able to eat without gagging. Today, we laughingly refer to foods that are unsafe for me as “nah foods.” I consider it a big blessing that my children do not suffer from ARFID, since living with it can be something of a buzzkill.
