Does anyone have a child with ARFID?

[Wayohh]

Can you tell me how you got a diagnosis? Was it through CAHMS?

GP has referred to CAHMS as they deal with child psychology issues Inc eating but she said its really hard to get seen and could be years.

Can she not be referred to a nutritionist or someone else?

Ds was eventually diagnosed by a gastro consultant.

You can ask for referals to a dietican alongside the CAMHs referal but realistically both are very limited in what they can offer

We used the Birmingham food refusal clinic and paid privately.

I wish I could do that but just cannot afford it unfortunately.

Yeah I know there's not really much they can do. It's extremely stressful.
