This is a blog dedicated to recording, sharing, and raising awareness about Nutritionism.

Nutritionism is the discrimination against those who experience digestive, gastrointestinal, and eating disorders.

What are Examples of Nutritional Disorders?

About the Mod

[PT: About the Mod /end PT]

This blog only has one (1) mod, and it will stay that way. Hi! My name is Finney, or Finn. My pronouns are They / Hymn / Pup. I am AroAce and Trans!

I am in the process of recovering from Bulimia Nervosa. That is the only nutritional disorder I have had, but I know others and have family members with disabilities that need representation. I want to give them that!

I also run @thisis-paraphilicsocialostracism and @this-is-sensory-ableism!

unsure if I'm just a really picky eater or if it's something more so feel free to not post

I'm so exhausted of the like 8 foods I can eat, some of my family are also picky so they understand but it still feels so isolating from the rest of the world, I can't even watch food network or food yt videos cause I start getting upset that they can eat things so easily while I just can't

This could be related to sensory issues or a neurodivergence (like ARFID) that inhibits you from eating anything other than safe foods.

allergies count as disabilities too, right? (asking because I'm not sure)

Yes, they do! Any condition that impairs you physically, sensorially, mentally, neurologically, and/or socially counts as a disability.

[this-is-nutritionism]

When family pressures you to finish your plate because it's "rude" to put food back, but you're just sitting there trying desperately not to throw up over the table since most foods, even in small portions, make you nauseous.

This is nutritionism.

be normal about people who wear diapers. be normal about people who need colostomy/catheter bags. be normal about people who need to wear pads or pad their mattress. be normal about incontinence. it’s not funny or weird or gross, it can happen to anyone of any age, and it’s frankly embarrassing that some of y’all can’t be normal about the aspects of disability that ick you out

Hey, just by the way if you get uncomfortable with my disability, you’re uncomfortable with me.

Fuck taboo, if I wanna talk about the fact it hurts to piss, I will If I wanna talk about the fact I throw up so much it’s what I expect after I consume anything, I will If I wanna talk about the fact I spend so much time on the toilet that I once fell asleep there, I will

And if someone wants to talk about their feeding tube? Their stoma? Their catheter? Then they can.

And if you’re uncomfortable with anything I’ve listed - and anything I forgot to mention - then you need to reevaluate yourself. Because it’s all normal. It’s all part of being disabled.

And if you get uncomfortable with taboo parts of disabilities, than I can’t imagine how you treat people with them.
