Managing Renewed Food Avoidance Following an Allergic Reaction for Patients With Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

Serious food restriction may occur following an allergic reaction. Individuals with a pre-existing feeding/eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), may be at particular risk for detrimental effects. This Clinical Question describes the relationship between reactions and restricted eating, provides practical clinical guidance for intervention, and articulates a call for future research advancing evidence-based care for patients following a reaction.
