In a new interview with People, the reality star revealed that the 10-year-old suffers from ARFID, or Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, which is an eating disorder that causes food restriction, but is not “caused by a negative self-image or a desire to change your body weight," according to the Cleveland Clinic, like Anorexia or Bulemia.
In Luke's case, "he's very overwhelmed by texture, color, smells." Simpson explained, "He will only eat white rice. And he has to inspect each piece of rice before he eats it. So it's beyond picky eating. A lot of control issues. It's very overwhelming.”
“There were so many times when he would say he was starving… because he was starving. But he would refuse to eat. And as a mom, that was so frustrating," she explained. "I didn't know what to do because on one hand he's crying and telling me he's starving, and on the other hand, he refuses to eat anything that I offer."
Today, Luke's therapist and nutritionist help him to improve, and he's added french fries, sliced bananas, potato chips, ice cream and plain turkey that “doesn't have any lines or blemishes in it” to his diet, and they continue to work on ways to decrease his fears and anxieties surrounding food.
