Do I have arfid or is it my adhd?
Ive heard a lot of the reasons people have for their eating habits with arfid and theyre mostly surrounding throwing up or choking + sensory issues , which is not my problem, nor do i have body image issues, or want to be as thin as i am.
So i was wondering if these are the only reasons (+ closely related ones) or if you guys with arfid have weird rules and reasons behind not eating some things.
My diet is extremely limited, I log my food because i am trying to gain weight, so an average day is looking like…
A bunch of chips, lunchables, uncrustable, and a nutrition shakes..coming to about 1100 calories
That is most of my diet plus select fast food items from select places and I like some fruit, and chicken under the right circumstances.
some of my limitations are-
food someone else cooked and plated in their house
frozen and thawed meat is not okay.
rice is not okay, it looks like maggots
food someone cooked without me watching
food cooked in a pan I wouldnt use
cheese
anything in a blender, they are not clean
Dishes out of a dishwasher are not clean
dont use milk unless its brand new and the person wasnt at the store too long
anything left out of the fridge for more than 20 mins (10 if its hot out) even if i suspect it
pork
fish
steak.
