I have really bad sensory issues around food which have got worse to the point I can only eat a few foods- even plain pasta isn’t an option because of the irregular texture. I have always relied on mostly beige and bland foods and mostly snack food. Not only is this annoying and can make me feel unwell but it causes a lot of insecurity around eating around people and general body image because it’s hard to eat healthy foods. when I was diagnosed i Was given information on Arfid but I’m not sure if it is that or just sensory issues from autism. Does anyone have similar experience?
I used to gag on certain foods, when anxiety was really bad and now take interlude if eating too fast. Also used throw away my lunch in the bin and eaten some of it.
