Daughter's Vomiting Phobia Leads to Feeding Tube

An 11-year-old girl nicknamed Vivi was diagnosed with emetophobia, a fear of vomiting that stopped her from eating. She was severely underweight and was put on a feeding tube to get essential nutrients. Vivi was diagnosed with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and was admitted to a residential center for eating disorders. Her weight was relatively stable until earlier this year when she was admitted to a third clinic. She's now eating regular meals, getting 2,000 calories a day from food like buttered noodles, Nutella sandwiches, and yogurt.
