Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is distinct from other restrictive eating disorders in that body image disturbance or fear of weight gain do not drive restrictive eating. ARFID occurs across the full weight spectrum and youth with ARFID may still experience body weight/shape concerns, not necessarily pathological like body image disturbance is, but research is currently very limited. The current study examined how body weight/shape concerns vary across the full weight spectrum in youth with ARFID.

- Cognitive therapy (CT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and behavior therapy (BT) for chronic pain show improvements linked to changes in treatment mechanisms, but these connections weaken over time.
- A study with 521 participants revealed that the relationship between treatment mechanisms and outcomes was significant early in treatment but became nonsignificant as therapy progressed.
- This suggests that participants may learn that negative pain-related thoughts and pain spikes don’t necessarily affect their overall experience, highlighting a shift in understanding as therapy continues.
Introduction: There is limited evidence to guide management of patients with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) admitted for medical stabilization. We describe variations in inpatient care which led to the development of a multidisciplinary inpatient clinical pathway (ICP) to provide standardized management and examine differences after the ICP was implemented.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with ARFID admitted to Adolescent Medicine, Gastroenterology, and General Pediatrics at a single academic center was conducted.
