ARFID and Eating Disorders in Children

ARFID and Eating Disorders in Children

Picky eating or something more? In this episode, we sit down with dietitian Maegan, who specialises in paediatric feeding, to unpack ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) — a condition many parents have never heard of, but one that's increasingly on clinicians' radar. Maegan shares her path into the field and talks us through what ARFID actually is, how it differs from ordinary fussy eating, and where it fits alongside more widely known eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. She explains how ARFID is diagnosed, the nutritional gaps that often show up in affected kids, and the practical, low-pressure strategies parents can use at home to gently widen a child's diet. We also explore how eating disorders can present in children more broadly, whether they're becoming more common or simply better recognised, and how dietitians work alongside speech pathologists and occupational therapists to support the sensory and oral-motor side of feeding. If you're a parent who's noticed something's not quite right at mealtimes but aren't sure where to turn, this conversation is a good place to start.
