She’s 55 now and was able to start eating breads, ice cream, milk, baked potatoes, crackers, bacon, scrambled eggs, and some other bland/carby foods. She said she’s tried pretty much everything including hypnotherapy to be able to eat normally but it just hasn’t worked.

@@DrThunder when I was sick. I didnt eat for 6 months cause I cldnt stop throwing up (Im allergic to Marijuana so cldnt use that) and i was fed intravenously w a Picc Line (through blood). I craved food but threw up as soon as I ate, the only thing I cld eat and didnt make me nauseous was bread, but thats not filling and sprite cause the carbonation made my stomach feel full. Afterwards I couldnt drink water cause I threw it up so much I had trauma. I had lost 50 lbs and a lot of muscle. My sense of smell became SUPER intense and do did my taste and texture awareness plus I had a hernia in my esophagus so I cldnt eat anything like raw vegetables. I took me about 10 years to retrain my brain and body w therapy and PT to eat normal-ish but i still barely eat. I prefer snacks through out the day. I also have lupus so I have to drink water or mineral rich foods or I get super sick and take loads of vitamins. Eating disorders or trauma is not fun.

This girl definitely has (or had) an eating disorder, which until recently, and even still, not many are aware of. It’s called ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). Basically it’s where the thought of some foods, their textures, the idea of even attempting to swallow them, causes retching, vomiting and for the throat to involuntarily close. Its genuinely awful

Best advice a dietitian ever told me is that being healthy doesn’t have to be all or nothing mentality. Just because you decided to be unhealthy one time doesnt mean you give up and be unhealthy the rest of the day or week, just be the best you can and eat the foods you like in moderation.

[@Sanakudou]

To be fair, the therapist guy was so damn weird I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s never successfully helped someone with a problem like this before. From facial expressions to the odd tone of voice and general emotional detachment, it wasn’t exactly helpful to ask if she was mad at him, she should’ve been prompting into talking more about her reaction and working through it, rather than prompting her to see him as a villain instead of someone genuinely trying to help. Also, if she couldn’t eat coloured fries yet why the hell did they go on to an even harder diet change? It was probably for TV but that more than likely would’ve caused her to totally shut off to this sort of therapy permanently because she found it too traumatising. But I don’t think the aim of that show has ever been to actually “help” people, just exploit them.

[@niconova25]

This is exactly what I was thinking! Cognitive-behavioral therapy works wonders for cases like hers, but it felt like they weren’t adapting to her. She even mentioned that the colored fries were too much at the time like bruh this guy sucks at being a therapist ngl

[@PsychoticWolfie]

@@niconova25 I kinda wonder how many doctors and therapist out there don't realize they literally work for their patients and not the other way around. Or how many patients out there have terrible doctors who have convinced them they are at the mercy of whatever they decide and they don't get a say. It's so sad to see a power trip passed off as help and end up hurting someone more :/

[@606aichan7O7]

Well, at least the result was good (I've seen comments saying this was for her daughter, and she was later able to eat more foods, and is currently rather healthy) I'm wondering if they intended to like, desensitise her after the rainbow attempt ended how it did....still not a great decision, but maybe that was the case

[@adamgil4159]

It was really uncomfortable to watch especially when she was coughing and having convulsions and then the "therapist" trying to teach a lesson whilst she's crying. C'mon now you don't need to be a therapist to realise that this is just reinforcing the thoughts and behaviours that they are trying to change.

[@pizzlerot2730]

Exactly. These two idiots are always so painful to watch, their entire approach is just "shame someone and then force them to be different." Yeah, sure, that'll help 🙄... This lady is a great example, as there's clearly more going on here than just not liking other foods. It was apparently revealed later in the episode that she has a genetic predisposition to extreme food aversion, but she could've also had something psychological going on such as PTSD from an abusive relationship. TLC is an exploitative, garbage network, and those two goofy goobers are right at home on it.

Gained some weight through medication and trying to lose it rn, but I don't wanna go that extreme again, after realizing I could have actually died.

You can actually live off of potatoes with a bit of oil. They have a complete form of protein and it's possible to keep a healthy weight eating them. She could have done worse.

My mother had a weird eating disorder where for 3 years she could really only eat a few things without it making her physically ill or in pain. This one specific brand of kettle cooked potato chips was her staple food, she would buy them in bulk and would not eat any that had brown spots or burnt edges.

[@chaos89mp]

At least she got paid for eating that deep-fried carrot, so she could buy some french fries later

[@bubbiccino]

I am quite curious how things got to such an extreme extent. Watching her reaction doesn’t make me laugh or feel bad. I just agree with Ken on how with the limited timeframe they were given, she was being pushed too hard for her situation. It’s pretty hard/annoying for others to deal with someone who seems too fragile because having to be careful about “normal” things is a waste of time for people who don’t have such problems. Putting yourself in her shoes isn’t exactly easy either. If they had time/weren’t trying to record the video in a certain way, I think some approaches that would of helped include consulting on a couple more things. For instance, with the colorful fries (which look nasty to me, but could probably eat): perhaps they could inform her and do a blind test first with normal fries, and then switch between the two and see if she could handle that. If she can’t, then they should find the root of the problem and solve that first (if she really wants to be able to eat healthy/more than just fries). Also forgot if they mentioned if she’s okay with beverages or not (can temporarily rely on blended stuff if she can drink it). And yikes, deep fried carrot doesn’t sound particularly appetizing to me. They jumped from same texture to completely different. At least experiment with similar texture/similar taste. Fries and just deep fried category has such a wide range for someone who only eats fries. Carrot is crunchy, but it’s hard, and it tastes…I dunno…fresh/clean? Potato is mushy…and easy to down like mush/baby food (just swallow it). It goes back to doing the blind taste test to figure out if she can handle taste/appearance of the food. I’m just babbling a bit too much since I was curious. I’ll go back into my hidey-hole now 😵‍💫

[@tikker76]

In this instance she most likely has ARFID - avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, you can read the specific criteria for it in DSM-5. People usually have a very hard time with food texture or smell or sound or whatever, which makes them pretty much afraid of certain foods. In time usually they start eating less and less, which is why they should get help. Usually people start eating only carbohydrate rich foods, deep fried is also what they enjoy. In time it gets more restrictive, like with her, that she is only able to eat very specific type of french fries now. The cure is pretty much like you described, veeeery slow exposure therapy. It's a fascinating condition because it seems so over the top to cry over a blue french fry, but for their brain it really is that scary. It's the same if we were but infront of a table full of bugs and told cmon eat it. You'd be so disgusted and probably also have a gag reflex, she just has it also with normal everyday food. Though condition to overcome.

When I was a kid, I remember eating my mom's cooking with no issue but I would always insist on olive pizza. My brother loved pepperoni but he would eat olive pizza so I always won unless we went half and half. As far as onions, I don't like the taste and texture of raw onions and peppers (bell peppers). So I chop them up, sauté them in butter, Worcester sauce, soy sauce, and they were so tasty. Soft but with the flavors all there. (Great for burritos and tacos)To this day, I prep my onions and peppers and garlic like this but I can usually use just butter and some seasonings. It depends on what I'm making.
