Picky Eating or ARFID?

Picky Eating or ARFID?

"Picky eater" is one of the most common labels in pediatrics and one of the easiest to overlook. But when a child's diet is shrinking instead of expanding, when meals are a source of stress instead of routine, or when growth and nutrition start to feel like a question mark, it's worth taking a second look. In this episode, we're discussing ARFID: what it looks like in clinic, how to spot the difference from typical picky eating, and how to approach these patients with a sharper clinical lens.

In this episode, we are joined by Kimberly Sheffield, PhD. She is an eating disorders psychologist at Children's Hospital Colorado, as well as the Clinical Director of Pediatric Mental Health Institute (PMHI) day programs, and the Associate Training Director for Psychology Training.

Some highlights from this episode include:

  • Specific growth or nutrition patterns that should raise suspicion of ARFID
  • Treatment options pediatricians can manage in clinic
  • Overlap between ARFID and neurodiversity
  • Patterns to look for in certain age groups
