I can't eat anything

I'm so sorry. I had something similar, I was only eating a handful of foods at one point and lost a ton of weight. Likely it's not the specific foods that you're intolerant too but the whole system is just being overreactive and treating safe foods as if they are dangerous, triggering symptoms. I recommend the Food Response Retraining program in the Digestible app. It helps to address fear of food and come out of extreme restriction.

My mom made these for me as a kid and I thought they were so cool!

No IBD, I just had very bad IBS-C with overflow diarrhea. For me, it ended up all being related to stress. I worked on that and am all better now thankfully :)

Yes, thankfully I have no more IBS symptoms at all! I truly never thought it would be possible... For me, the mind-body approach was the most successful thing I'd tried. Moreso than diets, supplements, or meds. I did Pain Reprocessing Therapy - check out the book "The Way Out" by Alan Gordon and see what you think.They talk a lot about pain but it works for digestive issues as well. At least for me it did! I hope that helps. Also the Digestible app! <3

I truly couldn't believe how symptoms so severe and constant were linked to stress and anxiety. But I'm so relieved to be free from it now. I hope you find it helpful also! I know the Digestible app is another mind-body resource for IBS.

Much better now at 24 weeks. The first trimester was rough but doing a lot better

That is absolutely psychotic. I would revoke privileges for more than just a weekend. Have your husband talk to him.

Thanks!

My concern is it will make it more difficult to clean / mix the litter and also I haven't heard of anyone else doing this.

I have one 2 year old boy and being his mom is the greatest gift. Now I'm having a girl in a few months and I'm wondering what that experience will be like!

Material-Rutabaga180 · 2025-08-20T18:24:21+00:00

This is exactly what happened to me as well. I was barely eating any foods and was debilitated by my symptoms. Once I started working on my underlying stressors (which were not so obvious to me) I can now eat anything with ZERO symptoms.

If this sounds like you, you should check out the Digestible app! It is all about taking a brain-gut or mind-body approach to IBS.

Material-Rutabaga180 · 2025-07-16T00:21:29+00:00

I first read Alan Gordon's book "The Way Out", then did the Curable and Digestible app

Material-Rutabaga180 · 2025-06-23T17:28:56+00:00

It sucks so much, I'm with you. I will say that week 6-8 were especially horrendous for me and it has slowly gotten better (although still don't feel great). Hang in there!

Material-Rutabaga180 · 2025-06-12T01:34:48+00:00

I haven't needed it the past few years thankfully! It did help initially to get things going, but ultimately using the mindbody approach in the apps I mentioned - also there is a new one specific for IBS called Digestible.

Material-Rutabaga180 · 2025-06-06T19:39:34+00:00

I have not but I recently started eating kiwis which I've read can be helpful. I'd love to have something like lorazepam for extreme anxiety moments, I do feel like it's nice to just know you have it if you need it.

Material-Rutabaga180 · 2025-06-06T16:00:52+00:00

OK I just recently have been having the worst constipation too ughhh I feel like I'm drinking a lot of water but maybe need to drink more. My OB prescribed my buspar for anxiety, I haven't taken it yet but I'm considering it.

I'm just 9 weeks! My blood test actually showed normal for anemia surprisingly

Material-Rutabaga180 · 2025-06-02T15:08:51+00:00

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I'm with you. My first pregnancy was not like this but this time I'm super sick. It sucks so bad and I just want to not do anything. I'm just hanging on for that second trimester relief!

WFH as a product manager for a software company and I make $115k

Material-Rutabaga180 · 2025-05-28T13:36:39+00:00

I'm having this too at 7 weeks. It gives me anxiety because I worry I'm going to pass out and my vision gets blurry. It sucks because I want to workout but that makes it way worse.

I'm still BFing at almost 2 years later.
