How can a nutritionist help with ARFID?
A nutritionist or dietitian plays a key role in ARFID treatment by ensuring the individual’s nutritional needs are met. They can:
- Assess for deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and calories
- Suggest appropriate supplements if needed
- Work with therapists to expand the food range safely
- Support families with meal planning and practical strategies
In Australia, dietitians often collaborate with psychologists and occupational therapists to provide holistic ARFID support under healthcare or NDIS pathways.
