The Picky Eater's Recovery Book Overcoming Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

'The authors have crafted a self-help book that empowers individuals with ARFID to coordinate their own treatment pathway. This is critical given limited access to expertise in the assessment and treatment of ARFID. The book provides guidance on engaging with medical providers regarding signs and symptoms of ARFID and potential evaluations that may uncover underlying nutritional deficiency. It also offers a framework for understanding ARFID alongside valuable tools to build and support a healthy diet. The authors recognize the variable presentations of ARFID in terms of restricted volume and/or variety, provide real world examples of treatment planning and implementation, and outline a roadmap for expanding dietary intake across food groups.'
