If a food that once felt “safe” suddenly isn’t anymore — you’re not doing anything wrong.
This is often called a food jag, and it’s a very common ARFID experience.
Safe foods can change with stress, sensory shifts, illness, or nervous system overload.
That doesn’t mean you failed — it means your body is communicating.
A few gentle ways to navigate it:
• Drop the pressure to replace it right away
• Lean into other accessible foods
• Remember: eating something > eating a specific food
• Let foods come and go — safety isn’t static
Food jags aren’t regression. They’re information.
