we don't talk enough about the bowel problems that come with having arfid so shout out to those of us who experience irregular bowel movements, constipation, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, and ibs. also shout out to those of us who have to take laxatives, anti diarrhoea, and anti cramping medications too. especially shout out to those of us who have been told by medical professionals to just 'get more fibre in your diet' like it's that simple. we deserve adequate medical care that takes our eating disorder into account, and to be listened to by medical professionals when we share our struggles.
#arfid#avoidant restrictive food intake disorder#defecation#ibs#diahrrea#diarrhoea#really don't feel inclined to tag with tmi or unsanitary because i feel like it steps on the point i'm trying to get across. ask to tag#i guess?#also Important Disclaimer: i am not a doctor. bowel issues are not part of the diagnostic criteria for arfid. i am merely speaking from my#own experiences of having bowel issues that likely stem from my diet which does not including a ton of veggies/fibre-containing foods#(but is probably compounded by endo/adeno too)#i know there are probably others in the same boat who survive on crisps and pizza and white bread and feel the effects of that. but if in#doubt go see your doc please. i know it can be embarrassing but there's no need to suffer when you can get help#.txt
