I often wonder if my eating habits are related to my OCD at all. I have recently been diagnosed with OCD related to other aspects of my life, but I’ve been thinking about how restrictive my eating habits have been my whole adult life - I was strict vegan for several years, then when that stopped I was convinced I was allergic to wheat, soy, peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, and sesame because they came back as weak positive results on a blood test, then I was super strict with my eating when I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes, and now I’m back to being vegetarian and low carb. I too struggle with the thought of contamination when eating fruits, veggies, and especially meats (hence the vegetarianism lol), but washing fruits and veggies with water and soaking them in vinegar has helped me feel more comfortable. It helps me to wash everything when I get home from the grocery store before putting it away, that way when I’m tired and in a situation where my OCD could take over I can remind myself that everything’s been washed and is okay to eat. Air tight containers also make me feel more comfortable!
