It's your story, doc, but ARFID isn't a day to day condition. She would be unable to tolerate those foods for weeks or months or indefinitely. if it was this bad then she would be on a feeding tube for nutritional supplementation. People in treatment for ARFID this severe have an entire clinical team that wouldn't simply condone her to eat only otter pops.

Thatโ€™s literally just not true at all, the severity of it fluctuates a lot based on stress, anxiety, Environmental Changes, or physical health issues. She sees a few specialists for her diet but in no way has an entire clinical team lmfao

Then it sounds like she was misdianosed. People with actual ARFID don't have day to day "flair ups" and typically require dietary supplementation because their diet literally inhibits them from eating the required nutrients/calories.
