I need more appreciation and understanding for people with ARFID and digestive / allergy / food reaction issues at the same time. Too many people don't understand that sometimes our brain is telling us something isn't food because it WILL make us sick. Or because so many things have made us sick in the past.
It's especially difficult to manage ARFID when your food reactions are unpredictable (and in my case, have gone up to anaphylaxis in the past). Or the act of digesting itself is a struggle for your body, puts strain in your system, and no matter what you eat it always makes you feel at least a little sick.
Some of the people making fun of us wouldn't last a month in our shoes. You'd genuinely starve. It's hard work to keep a balance and get enough nourishment every day.
