Hi, well, I thought "RAW" was like ... an adjective like XTREME or KILLER, lol, so confession, I just read the pinned explanation and -- I can't eat anything raw that I know of, at least not at the moment, I have IBD (likely - see explanation below). Everything I eat hates me. So I don't know, ya'll might have to give me the boot.
I have so much trouble eating that a lot of times I resort to nibbling on Skittles for most of the day. I was sick all the time as a kid, so don't know if you ever had the experience of having a bad flu and you don't really want any sort of heavy food? Broccoli, steak and pizza aren't really on the menu...
I eat a lot of soup and bone broth and I can eat veggies if I boil them (but not broccoli and there are some veggies I can't digest at all). I was born with digestive issues and then it got worse. I would eat pancakes for breakfast and then not eat again until supper because I was so scared of getting sick at school. When I went on trips with my parents they threatened me, 'DO not get sick' -- so I'm 46 and in the 1980's absolutely everything to do with a bad GI was "STRESS" hahaha -- so I'm like seven years old and my Mom is super ashamed that she has such a weakling mentally fried child. I used to get threatened a lot with, "if you keep this up you will have to go to a GI doctor and do you know what they'll do (insert torture) GULP" So although I've talked to a few general MD's -- I have avoided actual GI doctors my entire life. There it is, my confession. I don't have a firm diagnosis but so far they just want to use SSRI's on my gut so I guess it's all back to the whole 'stress' thing, lol. Despite what most people know about the usual GI issues, my biggest complaint is GI pain.
I want to develop a
system of food I can eat, and some foods to avoid, and get some support. Sometimes I just get sick of trying to manage my food and just drink a coke with a doughnut. (I can eat most processed carbs although they put me straight to sleep usually).
I'm really here to learn if you'll have me, but I might be too much of a mess to be saved, idk.
My energy is non-existent. I have a lot of fatigue most of the time.
I have a big bubbly personality if you'll let me join. I just have questions and I'm not on Facebook or social media stuff because my friends all became political meme activist and got weird.
My dream is to be a runner and a cyclist but I'm so fatigued, and I've put on some chubby weird weight in the middle and it's holding me so far back I can't see the start line.
Cheers! - Poppy
