Fox News Digital spoke with Hannah and her mom, Michelle , about their journey with ARFID, which has included a prominent social media presence. But by the time Hannah turned 3, Michelle said her daughter started refusing even the select foods she once ate. Hannah’s doctors ran tests to see if there was another health condition, such as IBS or celiac disease. She was referred to other specialists, from endocrinologists to nutritionists.The doctors instructed Michelle to continue offering Hannah food when she was hungry, but her daughter’s condition only worsened.

“I remember saying to her, ‘She has very few foods that she’s willing to eat. And one of the foods is sour cream and onion Pringles, but they have to be in a special packaging. She refuses to eat the Pringles that come in the large container. They have to come in the individual small containers.’”The therapist first recommended nutritional protein shakes, which were difficult for Hannah to stomach.was at risk of needing a feeding tube,” Michelle told Fox News Digital.
