Struggling to get my GP to listen about ARFID

I completely understand texture issues! I've had them all my life as well as my son and granddaughter. It took me 4 yrs to get my granddaughter's PCP to take me seriously about her issues. I had to take a video of her reactions for him to understand that I was not exaggerating. It's a condition that most people don't understand. My PCP has done the same thing with certain meds (like allergy or Nexium). It's so frustrating. Just because they are available OTC doesn't mean we can afford to buy them. If insurance covers it we should be able to take advantage of it, right? Are you able to change PCP/GP? I would suggest finding one that treats patients with Sensory Processing Disorder. They would be more apt to listen to your texture issues and be more willing to prescribe the shake you prefer. Those shakes are too expensive to spend your grocery money to get them. Especially with the prices of everything rising. It's hard enough budgeting household items, groceries, and gas on a limited income without adding another high price item to it. I wonder if a Nutritionist could prescribe them for you? 🤔 I have no idea if they can write prescriptions or not, just a thought.

Have you tried optimum nutrition serious mass ( green and black tub). Works out cheaper to make shakes from this
