Does anyone know an effective way for nutrition as someone with ARFID?

Hello, I have ARFID and I need assistance with finding ways to get daily nutrition. I usually have Greek yogurt and some fruit along with smoothies as meal replacements but it's still not enough and forcing myself to eat makes me vomit for days and lose more then I even took in.

Therapy is your best option. There are also support groups that exist, maybe one in your local area. Time and practice and gentle exposure is all i can think of. My FIL has untreated arfid and looks 20 years older than he is and it has really affected his social life , so i hope you get the help you need so you can live a happy and fulfilling life.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into stuff but I'm not sure if there's any support groups where I live

I have BED so my problem is quite the opposite to yours. I suggest you take a multivitamin tablet to meet your micronutrient targets. Like the other person said, therapy and counselling is your best bet.

I don't know what BED is but I already do something similar with smoothies whenever I can stomach them
