Nothing is off limits for OCD, including your child’s food. Does OCD make them feel disgusted by some foods? Do they think their food tastes, smells or looks weird? Do they wind up avoiding foods due to this?
There is nothing worse than watching your child starve to death. It can creep up slowly or happen overnight. Meals are missed. Favorite foods are no longer favored. Plate after plate, meal after meal goes untouched. Perhaps initially you chalk it up to “picky eating” but then you realize it is something much more. Welcome to the world of Avoidant/ Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, also known as ARFID.
