ARFID quiz: do I have ARFID?

Avoidant/restrictive eating isn’t always about weight or body image. This ARFID quiz is designed to help you explore patterns like avoiding certain foods, strong sensory sensitivities, or fear of eating due to choking or discomfort. It’s not a diagnosis, but it can help you better understand your eating habits.

If this sounds familiar, learn more about avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, how it differs from picky eating, and available treatment options. Support is available for both children and adults.

Do you avoid certain foods because of texture, smell, or appearance?

Are you fearful of choking, vomiting, or getting sick from food?

Do you eat a very limited range of “safe” foods?

Has your eating pattern caused weight loss or nutritional concerns?

Do social events involving food cause anxiety?

Do you skip meals because nothing feels “safe” to eat?

Did these eating challenges begin in childhood?

Do you struggle to try new foods?

Has your doctor expressed concern about your growth or nutrition?

Is your food avoidance unrelated to body image concerns?
