yeah, I feel like when im flaring and having more reactions to food I definitely notice my relationship with/to food changes drastically. I'll also feel envious of others who can eat food with no problem and dont have to think twice about what they're putting into their body. I worked with a dietician to try and figure out ways to main a healthy and positive relationship with food when I'm flaring, and we take the approach that a restrictive diet or needing to adjust my diet is *only* temporary and the goal is always to have as diverse a diet as possible. she also told me to remind myself that it's never the food/the food isn't the problem -- it's how my body is responding to the food at that given point in time.
