Hi. I’m 52 and I have been an extremely picky eater all my life. I remember as a child sitting alone at the table for hours because my mom wouldn’t let me up until I ate everything on my plate. I never would and after several hours she would finally let me leave the table. When I had colon cancer and was prepping for the surgery. My doctor gave me a list of about 20 items I could eat the week prior. On that list there were only three items I would eat. As an adult I have learned growing up just to avoid eating with others or simply stating I’m not hungry. I hear all the mean remarks and it seems like no one understands. The line I hear the most is “if she’s hungry enough, she’ll eat it.” Now I’m at a point in my life where I need to eat healthier. Is there any hope?

Thanks for your post to our message board. Your experience is pretty common for many of us. I make it a point to let all my doctors know that I have ARFID a recognized medical condition that they need to understand so they can better deal with my needs. Come and join our support groups.
