Riassunto
L’ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) è un disturbo alimentare emergente in età pediatrica, caratterizzato da un’eccessiva restrizione alimentare non motivata da preoccupazioni legate al peso, spesso in comorbidità con allergie o intolleranze. Questa tesi esplora l’interazione tra ARFID e allergie infantili, evidenziando come la paura di reazioni avverse possa rafforzare l’evitamento alimentare, aggravando il quadro nutrizionale e psicologico. Il trattamento richiede un approccio multidisciplinare: il nutrizionista valuta lo stato nutrizionale, pianifica un graduale ampliamento della dieta (es. tramite Food Chaining), monitora le carenze e lavora in sinergia con psicologi e pediatri. Vengono analizzate strategie d'intervento come la terapia cognitivo-comportamentale (CBT-AR), l’approccio multistep (CBT-MS), l’esposizione sensoriale (FBI) e la terapia familiare (FBT). L’intervento precoce, centrato sulla desensibilizzazione, la consapevolezza corporea e il coinvolgimento familiare, è cruciale per prevenire la cronicizzazione del disturbo e migliorare la qualità di vita del bambino e della sua famiglia.
ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a complex eating disorder that often arises in early childhood and can significantly impact nutritional status, growth, and family dynamics. Its presentation frequently overlaps with food allergies and sensory sensitivities, complicating diagnosis and treatment. This thesis explores the role of the multidisciplinary team—particularly the nutritionist—in outpatient care, highlighting the importance of individualized dietary planning, sensory desensitization strategies such as food chaining, and the use of validated tools like the NIAS and EDY-Q for assessment. Therapeutic approaches include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT-AR), Multistep CBT, Family-Based Therapy (FBT), and sensory exposure methods like the FBI protocol, all aimed at reducing food-related anxiety and expanding dietary variety. Special attention is given to physiological neophobia and its evolutionary basis, as well as the somatic-emotional roots of ARFID, emphasizing early relational factors and prenatal influences. A timely, empathetic, and integrative intervention is essential to support both the child and their family in regaining a healthy and flexible relationship with food.
