For years, at every doctors appointment, I shared concerns about Hannah’s eating and growth. And every time, we were sent home with oral nutrition shakes she simply could not drink. For sensory type ARFID, those shakes are incredibly hard. The texture, thickness, taste, and smell are overwhelming. If I could not get her to eat food, how was I supposed to get her to drink something even harder for her? So we waited for her to “grow out of it” just like we were advised. Then things became serious.
