Does anyone else have ARFID due to stomach issues? I'm terrified of food because I know it will cause me pain.

my stomach felt a lil funny last night so i threw away everything that wasnt strictly gerd safe bc i started experimenting w my diet 🥲

for ppl who dont know what ARFID is:

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a new diagnosis in the DSM-5, and represents a reformulation of what used to be called “Feeding Disorder of Infancy or Early Childhood.” Individuals with ARFID limit the volume and/or variety of foods they consume, but unlike the other eating disorders, food avoidance or restriction is not related to fears of fatness or distress about body shape, size or weight. Instead, in ARFID, selective eating is motivated by a lack of interest in eating or food, sensory sensitivity (e.g., strong reactions to taste, texture, smell of foods), and/or a fear of aversive consequences (e.g., of choking or v*).

Diagnostic Criteria

According to the DSM-5 TR, ARFID is diagnosed when:

An eating or feeding disturbance (e.g., apparent lack of interest in eating or food; avoidance based on the sensory characteristics of food; concern about aversive consequences of eating) as manifested by persistent failure to meet appropriate nutritional and/or energy needs associated with one (or more) of the following:

Significant weight loss (or failure to achieve expected weight gain or faltering growth in children).

Significant nutritional deficiency.

Dependence on enteral feeding or oral nutritional supplements.

Marked interference with psychosocial functioning.

The disturbance is not better explained by lack of available food or by an associated culturally sanctioned practice.

The eating disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, and there is no evidence of a disturbance in the way in which one’s body weight or shape is experienced.

The eating disturbance is not attributable to a concurrent medical condition or not better explained by another mental disorder. When the eating disturbance occurs in the context of another condition or disorder, the severity of the eating disturbance exceeds that routinely associated with the condition or disorder and warrants additional clinical attention.

Risk Factors

As with all eating disorders, the risk factors for ARFID are suspected to involve a range of biological, psychological, and sociocultural issues. These factors may interact differently in different people, which means two people with the same eating disorder can have very diverse perspectives, experiences, and symptoms. Emerging longitudinal research is examining factors that may increase vulnerability to the development of ARFID. Most of what is known currently is based on cross-sectional data, that is, from studies of individuals who have already been diagnosed with ARFID. Here’s what we know:

Children who don’t outgrow normal picky eating, or in whom picky eating is severe, appear to be more likely to develop ARFID.

People with certain medical conditions that make eating uncomfortable, or developmental disorders such as autism may be more likely to develop ARFID.

Comorbid conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression, are common amongst those with ARFID.

While ARFID cannot be diagnosed if another eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, for example, is present, some people with ARFID can develop weight and shape concerns, and a small portion of these will transition from ARFID to another eating disorder over time.

[ad_1] For many years, drivers from Mumbai to Delhi have searched for the ideal blend of premium features, everyday practicality, and affordability in the increasingly crowded SUV market. While the search may never truly end—with new models arriving every few months—it’s the thrill of the process that counts, especially when you discover a vehicle that strikes the right balance. And with the upcoming arrival of the premium B-segment SUV VinFast VF 6, Indian drivers have good reason to feel excited again. VinFast VF 6 soon to be launched in India The VF 6 is among the first electric vehicles set to arrive in India from the Vietnamese automaker VinFast. Already gaining a loyal following in Vietnam, the VF 6 represents a fully electric option in the B-SUV segment—one that doesn’t ask drivers to compromise on performance, features, or value. While exact specifications and pricing for the Indian market are still under wraps, early feedback from Vietnamese owners suggests that the VF 6 delivers what drivers care about most in real-world conditions. “The VF 6 offers excellent visibility, giving me confidence when navigating crowded streets and narrow roads. On long trips, ADAS features like adaptive cruise control make driving more relaxed and feel safer,” says Ms. Vu Thi Tuyen, a frequent long-distance driver in Vietnam. In Vietnam, the VF 6 Plus trim comes equipped with multiple advanced driver-assistance systems—adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and collision warnings—technologies typically found in much more expensive models. These tools can ease driver fatigue, particularly during the hour-long commutes which are no rarity in many Indian cities. Those who’ve sat inside the VF 6 often remark that it feels more spacious than its compact exterior suggests—thanks in large part to its electric architecture. The wheelbase stretches to 2,730 mm, longer than some C-segment competitors, allowing comfortable seating for four adults—or even five. The suspension reportedly strikes a good balance between stability and comfort, particularly on pothole-riddled roads. The centerpiece of the interior is a 12.9-inch touchscreen—the largest in its class, at least in Vietnam. A connected smartphone app lets owners check battery status, locate their vehicle, or start climate control remotely—practical tools for India’s diverse climate conditions. Range anxiety—the fear of running out of battery—has long discouraged potential EV buyers. The VF 6 tackles this concern with a battery offering up to 480 km of range (NEDC standard) in the Vietnamese version. As India’s charging infrastructure continues to improve, such a range becomes increasingly practical for intercity travel. Even a trip from Delhi to Jaipur would be well within reach. Perhaps most compelling is the VF 6’s value proposition. In Vietnam, it is priced competitively against gasoline-powered SUVs—especially when long-term operating costs are considered. Vietnamese owners report that running costs are much lower than those of equivalent petrol models, in some cases only roughly just roughly half. The math is straightforward: no oil changes, fewer brake replacements thanks to regenerative braking, and electricity costs lower than fossil fuels. One Vietnamese VF 6 owner, after clocking 12,000 km, spent just 300,000 VND (approximately Rs. 1,000) for maintenance, lower than even a two-wheel motorbike. For Indian buyers accustomed to value calculations that extend beyond the purchase price, these economics matter. Add in the potential government incentives for electric vehicles, and the case becomes stronger. Power delivery in the VF 6 is more than adequate, enabling confident highway merges and safer overtakes on two-lane roads. “Tap the accelerator at a red light, and the VF 6 leaves other cars behind," says Mr. Le Duy Sơn, who commutes 120 km daily in his VF 6. “The VF 6 offers a more comfortable driving experience than the petrol cars I've driven.”

If the early feedback from Vietnamese owners is anything to go by, the VinFast VF 6 presents a compelling case for Indian drivers too. It’s not just about reducing emissions—though that’s certainly important—it’s about getting more for your money: more features, more comfort, and more performance, all while spending less over time. The real question for Indian buyers may no longer be if an EV makes sense—but when the right one will arrive. For many, the VF 6 could be that car. !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments); if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window,document,'script', 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js'); fbq('init', '311356416665414'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); [ad_2] Source link

Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production

Issued March 20, 2025.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. The United States possesses vast mineral resources that can create jobs, fuel prosperity, and significantly reduce our reliance on foreign nations. Transportation, infrastructure, defense capabilities, and the next generation of technology rely upon a secure, predictable, and affordable supply of minerals. The United States was once the world’s largest producer of lucrative minerals, but overbearing Federal regulation has eroded our Nation’s mineral production. Our national and economic security are now acutely threatened by our reliance upon hostile foreign powers’ mineral production. It is imperative for our national security that the United States take immediate action to facilitate domestic mineral production to the maximum possible extent.

Sec. 2. Definitions. For the purposes of this order:

(a) “Mineral” means a critical mineral, as defined by 30 U.S.C. 1606(a)(3), as well as uranium, copper, potash, gold, and any other element, compound or material as determined by the Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC).

(b) “Mineral production” means the mining, processing, refining, and smelting of minerals, and the production of processed critical minerals and other derivative products.

(c) The term “processed minerals” refers to minerals that have undergone the activities that occur after mineral ore is extracted from a mine up through its conversion into a metal, metal powder, or a master alloy. These activities specifically occur beginning from the point at which ores are converted into oxide concentrates, separated into oxides, and converted into metals, metal powders, and master alloys.

(d) The term “derivative products” includes all goods that incorporate processed minerals as inputs. These goods include semi-finished goods (such as semiconductor wafers, anodes, and cathodes) as well as final products (such as permanent magnets, motors, electric vehicles, batteries, smartphones, microprocessors, radar systems, wind turbines and their components, and advanced optical devices).

Sec. 3. Priority Projects. (a) Within 10 days of the date of this order, the head of each executive department and agency (agency) involved in the permitting of mineral production in the United States shall provide to the Chair of the NEDC a list of all mineral production projects for which a plan of operations, a permit application, or other application for approval has been submitted to such agency. Within 10 days of the submission of such lists, the head of each such agency shall, in coordination with the Chair of the NEDC, identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for which permits can be immediately issued, and take all necessary or appropriate actions within the agency’s authority to expedite and issue the relevant permits or approvals.

(b) Within 15 days of the date of this order, the Chair of the NEDC, in consultation with the heads of relevant agencies, shall submit to the Executive Director of the Permitting Council mineral production projects to be considered as transparency projects on the Permitting Dashboard established under section 41003 of title 41 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act, Public Law 114-94, 129 Stat. 1748. Within 15 days of receiving the submission, the Executive Director shall publish any projects selected and establish schedules for expedited review.

(c) The Chair of the NEDC, in consultation with relevant agencies, shall issue a request for information to solicit industry feedback on regulatory bottlenecks and other recommended strategies for expediting domestic mineral production.

Sec. 4. Mining Act of 1872. Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Chair of the NEDC and the Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs shall jointly prepare and submit recommendations to the President for the Congress to clarify the treatment of waste rock, tailings, and mine waste disposal under the Mining Act of 1872.

Sec. 5. Land Use for Mineral Projects. (a) Within 10 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Interior shall identify and provide the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs with a list of all Federal lands known to hold mineral deposits and reserves. The Secretary of the Interior shall prioritize mineral production and mining related purposes as the primary land uses in these areas, consistent with applicable law.

The Secretary of Defense may use the authority under section 303 of the DPA, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Energy, the Chair of the NEDC, and the heads of other agencies as the Secretary of Defense deems appropriate, for the domestic production and facilitation of strategic resources the Secretary of Defense deems necessary or appropriate to advance domestic mineral production in the United States. Further, within 30 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense shall add mineral production as a priority industrial capability development area for the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Program.

(c) Agencies that are empowered to make loans, loan guarantees, grants, equity investments, or to conclude offtake agreements to advance national security in securing vital mineral supply chains, both domestically and abroad, shall, to the extent permitted by law, take steps to rescind any policies that require an applicant to complete and submit to the agency as part of an application for such funds the disclosures that are required by Regulation S-K part 1300.

(d) To address the national emergency declared pursuant to Executive Order 14156, I hereby waive the requirements of 50 U.S.C. 4531(d)(1)(a)(ii), 4332(d)(1)(B), and 4533(a)(1) through (a)(6).
