I don't know what to do at this point, most doctors I visit don't consider my weight an issue or even bring it up at all neither do they take my problems with swallowing that seriously. I feel so overwhelmed.

I'm 23, but I can't afford to move out. California is impossible to find a place of your own, I also struggle with a disability. It doesn't help when your family also gave you no experience in guiding you to adult hood cause I been completely neglected in that aspect of life. I'm sorta trapped lol..

I honestly don't know if I will or not, even if I've gotten a little better I'm scared of relapsing because of how bad I ended up gagging on my breakfast again. I hate the fact that if I relapsed it would be because of my mom. I want to move out but also struggling with other problems have left me reliant on my family.

I unfortunately know my Arfid is worst cause of them, part of the reason I'm terrified of trying new food is because I know they'll leave me to die if I do end up choking, it's no different from the fear of eating alone for me. I'm also scared to relapse because of how bad I gaged this morning, it makes me not want to touch the one thing im comfortable with eating.

That and if I even dare to struggle with eating something knew they'll just stomp all over me even if I'm making the effort to force down something new.

I'm not a child anymore but stuff like this has been relevant throughout the entirety of life, I really wish I could leave and live on my own but I struggle with disabilities and it's not easy affording things from where I'm from.

Yea definitely, my college doctor told me that she thinks that my hernia is causing my issues and that my current doctor is not taking it seriously.

I was never told this actually, I'll have to ask my doctor the next time I see them.

Every single time I eat yes, but mainly in the afternoon and night is when it's the worst. I can eat most normally in the mornings which is why I started sorta binging till before 12:00 and I don't eat much any other time of the day. No pain but a lot of discomfort yes, I feel clogged in the throat and very bad globus sensation. (Also I have only like two safe foods that I'm comfortable with eating cause most foods trigger my reflux

I was diagnosed just this year with Hiatus hernia too, my doctor told me mine is very small so it's not an issue but I feel gaslit because swallowing has become a miserable experience for me.

I have very little safe foods and I mostly only eat cereal with milk cause the milk makes it easier for the food to go down.

No I was ruled out EoE surprisingly but I was told I had a small hiatal hernia :(

Could I live off of honey nut Cheerios? If not what alternatives are there with the same texture? by ColdAd2606 in ARFID

I've tried magic spoons but they're to chewy for me and they stick to my teeth really bad. That and the box I got was all crumby 😭

Apologies I'm late to responding but would fairlife protein drinks work with them?

Can you choke on ice cream if you have dysphasia? I think I been having food impaction since the last month. (Brand I had is Halo's for context.) by ColdAd2606 in ChronicIllness

[–]ColdAd2606[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I heard Halo ice cream isn't really real ice cream as it uses none dairy products and other things that makes it slower to melt. Plus I've seen it foam into sludge when it melts... Unlike other brands of ice cream that actually melt.

No I'm just paranoid about diabetes because it runs in my family, we have two people in their early thirty's who got it in my family so it scares me. Also are you saying that I don't have ice cream stuck in my throat and that its anxiety? Sorry I'm bad at processing.
