#digestive disorders

My meat prison has really been on its bullshit lately.

Wish people would stop researching why we're autistic and instead researched why so many of us have IBS, lactose intolerance, over active bladders, etc etc etc.

Because POTS and digestion issues go hand in hand, how many of us have probably passed out on or near a toilet? 🙋‍♀️ I know I have!

Extremely pathetic that doctors will try to pin “makes you starve” disease as actually ur just crazy and like. U can’t argue because starving makes u crazy and it’s not fair 👍

Extremely wimpy behavior on their part. Ego so big ur gonna kick someone while they’re down because they can’t fight back. I’m trying to get away from small dick jokes because I think they are like. Inherently oppressive. And I’m want to be a good feminist. But I can’t find the words for what I’m actually trying to say instead

I lost over 30 percent of my body weight, for me this was triple digits, after resisting weight loss without eating enough for a long time, and yeah. I am out of my mind 👍 I also have reactive hypoglycemia and the only things I can eat trigger it. There’s no winning. I’m in a spiderweb of double binds and I’m less and less lucid enough to navigate it

I also fully think gastroparesis Facebook groups are comparatively worse than other groups because we’re all fucking. Starving. And doctors take advantage and also get off on it.

I stg if I hear another person tell me they only need xxx/1xxx calories because they weigh 1xx and gain weight on anything more I’m going to get murdery.

“I get 1400 calories through my tube but I’m still sick and hungry for some reason” is deranged

I honestly can’t even blame starved thin people with gastroparesis for the fatphobia as much as others, not because it’s okay it’s fucked up and like they have proximity to the norm and no solidarity, BUT like they aren’t in their right minds and doctors faults. And neither am I but like. Shrug. The power/oppression dynamics are real but it’s like. “Pain is bad” or whatever and they sometimes aren’t psychologically or cognitively capable enough for me to blame them

Did u kno? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet? Are you dead yet?

Are you dead yet?

Students with food intolerances deserve a safe, free lunch too. Failing to provide that because you think it’s unnecessary is just ableism. “Eating this food causes them pain because their body can’t digest it, but it’s not life threatening so we don’t need to accommodate it” is such a bad take. Yes, let’s just make them sick every day instead of giving them the option of safe, free foods to eat. So poor kids will have to choose every day if they’re going to starve themselves or if they’re going to be in excruciating pain the rest of the day when they’re trying to learn. Makes no sense.

Furthermore, I don’t think people realize what food intolerances entail. It’s not just, “oh, eating this food gives me a stomach ache.” It is often caused by the body’s inability to break down the sugars in the food because the pancreas and/or the small intestine doesn’t make enough digestive enzymes. People with food intolerances can have a number of disabling conditions, especially because of malnutrition and malabsorption. I am dependent on digestive enzyme supplements, as well as vitamins because I can’t eat and/or get the nutrition I need to thrive without them. This is disabling. Yes, even if it’s not going to immediately kill me if I eat the wrong thing.

Don’t put people in places where they’re required to work, promising that food will be provided for free, and then only provide foods that will make them sick.

Digesturnic

A diuturnic term/flag for those with chronic digestive issues, including those with stomach aches, dietary cautions or any conditions related to or involved with the digestive system, regardless of how small or how often it happens and it does not strictly have to be chronic pain. This also includes those with anything undiagnosed and who aren't sure what it is beyond a digestive issue.

Etymology:

Diges -> taken from digestive/digestion

Requests are open

Finally realized why I keep waking up at 1 or 2 in the morning.

My pain meds wear off at that time.

Shit.
