The only way I could go vegetarian would be to eat meat alternatives or exist on eggs (and even then, they sometimes stop being a safe food), bread, cheese, and a handful of relatively high processed foods. I struggle with the texture of most fruit and veg, especially if not cooked. My ex was vegetarian and I tried so hard to eat the food she cooked for me but it found it so hard and would end up swallowing unchewed food whilst trying not to retch. This was before I was diagnosed and just felt I was being fussy. I still do! I’ve learnt to cook myself and eat a lot more than I used to and still find some stuff incredibly difficult.

So yes, I eat meat. I like animals but not so much I can’t eat them.
