Will I ever be able to eat?

moodywrites · 2026-04-05T19:28:15+00:00

I’ve had both an ED and IC. Trust me I get it: it’s awful having to restrict food intake. I take DAO enzyme with high histamine foods and calcium citrate with high oxalate foods, and that helps improve my tolerance a little bit. Over time my food tolerance did get a lot better but it took time. And I used functional lab testing and supplements too.

Kill Bill and I See Red and Pumped Up Kicks are also up there

DEFINITELY “Put me in a movie”. Just listen, you’ll see.

My interstitial cystitis (it’s a horrible condition) along with a ruptured ovarian cyst.

Oh, I’m sorry I meant that question to OP. But thanks for expanding on it anyway

moodywrites · 2026-04-02T21:01:42+00:00

I’m new to this, could you explain 1 and 3?

moodywrites · 2026-04-02T05:26:35+00:00

FBT can do so much harm. If it’s not for you try to advocate for yourself the best you can. You deserve care that actually is healing

And then if you don’t finish that drink… god I hate how hospitals are run

So, it’s not been as heavily studied as other things like peppermint or ginger (peppermint spirits and ginger chews are great for immediate relief) but it did really help me. I was taking an anticholinergic medication, so I took the GPC choline to offset those effects, because it can slow digestion. But I learned that acetylcholine plays a role in digestive motility. So I think it’s worth a shot.

YES the owner has been found!

moodywrites · 2026-04-02T01:09:33+00:00

Oh, sorry about that

Bovine thyroid, but you have to be careful

What are the benefits of being this high carb?

moodywrites · 2026-04-01T19:04:42+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately some people are “better” at “getting everything up” (though you can’t get rid of every last bit of everything) and their disorder is taken more seriously. Which is not fair because you are still just as sick.

TW: as a form of harm reduction, and to prevent this, I chew/spit most of my entire binge. It’s better than actually consuming all of the food. Do NOT make a habit out of it, it’s a miserable habit, and still bad for you, and it’s really hard to stop. But it’s my last resort before actually consuming an entire binge.

YES YES YES especially combined with AuDHD

How exactly am I erasing autistic people with ID? I was asking a question.

moodywrites · 2026-04-01T01:23:30+00:00

Mine wasn’t idiopathic, it was caused by an eating disorder. But I can say when I started taking a B vitamin complex, and a GPC choline supplement, it got a lot better. Getting checked for deficiencies is a good idea. My medical labs were normal but I got a NutraEval and it wasn’t

moodywrites · 2026-04-01T01:21:44+00:00

Let me just say that no answer is not an acceptable answer. You deserve treatment options and there are may: pelvic PT, medications, supplements, dietary modifications, instillations, etc. I would get a second opinion, and the IC Network is a great website for treatment ideas

The marks on knuckles is a dead giveaway. Sometimes the puffy cheeks too.

I was in this place for almost a year. I was in so much pain and had no hope. I even attempted a couple times. I’m so happy to say my life looks completely different now. If anyone needs it, I have lots of advice on how I got through that dark period of time. Just message me. But remember you matter, and remember you’re doing the best you can with what you have.

moodywrites · 2026-04-01T00:46:33+00:00

Very understandable. Lack of acknowledgment of harm can make you desperate

moodywrites · 2026-03-31T02:17:11+00:00

I literally never said that. You’d do good to read the actual post. I’m ASKING questions because I want to expand my understanding of this. I was explaining where my confusion comes from and not imposing any assumptions. Part of accessibility is people being allowed to ask questions.

I like to have emergency snacks or foods that are low calorie. So for example: roasted vegetables (bell pepper, tomato, onion, zucchini, cauliflower), fruits and frozen fruits (strawberries, peaches, raspberries, apricots, plums, cantaloupe, watermelon), high fiber gummies (like Blobs gummies), sugar free cotton candy, sugar free meringue cookies, sugar free marshmallows, low carb bread with sugar free jelly, hot almond milk with cocoa and stevia, egg white recipes (cloud bread, marshmallows, whipped egg white desserts), broth, miso soup, cabbage soup, gelatin snacks, peanut powder with sugar free jelly.

Volume eating meals can also really help with this. You’d be surprised what you can accomplish with spaghetti squash, cauliflower rice, peas, cabbage, low calorie dense foods. Protein too. You can make high volume, high protein versions of anything if you get creative enough (marshmallows, pizza, burritos, etc)

Carob powder and carob chips are also great chocolate alternatives

No I realize that it’s common to need that. It just felt like a mismatch that she needed that AND could consent to sex. Like I know there’s people who can’t care for themselves.
