any "bad" texture I get in my mouth I physically gag

Ive talked to someone else with ARFID and she said yeah I'm describing ARFID, but pretty much the title. For me any "bad" texture is literally most fruits and vegtables. The wet crunch is just horrendous and Awful. I kinda figure I do have ARFID, would it be an issue if I told people that before I get offically diagnosed (that I have ARFID)? I hate being offered unsafe foods and declining because I just look like an overgrown picky toddler.

i would really love to be able to eat strawberries or lettuce but if i even notice something off or i think there will be something that will trigger it (my gag reflex) i will avoid it. that's like the main thing of arfid isn't it? 😅
