      I have IBS so I follow the Low FODMAP diet. It has been very helpful and I even lost some weight!

      Cutting most red meats and pork out of my diet helped my IBS bloating a bit. Not by a lot but you can't win everything I suppose šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

      High protein(I had weightloss surgery back in 2021) little to no dairy ( lactose intolerant)

      As much as I know being vegan or vegetarian would be good for the environment and all but I just can't give up meats they taste to good. They give me joy and if I cut them out I'd only mainly eat rice and that's just a little to restrictive I think...

      I have an eating disorder, which I'm getting help for, I just try to balance out the food groups, also the keto diet is dangerous, it can damage your liver and kidneys later on, any medical professional will tell you that, that's why they advise against it,

    • TheMoonGoddess420

      Lean protein like chicken and fish, vegetables, fruit, water, smoothies, Gatorade, and juice. I don't drink pop very often every once in a while. I loveee sweets though lol. I just try not to overindulge hehe. I prefer homemade meals instead of eating out all the time. But I eat out every once in a while. Currently addicted to the Chicken Caesar Salad from Noodles and Company. It's just so good lol if you love salad it's definitely a must try. ā˜ŗļø

      I'm working on remembering to eat. I used to be really mindful about what I ate but my stress got so bad and exacerbated by my adhd that I just forget to eat. It's gotten a lot better, but I'm still not eating enough for how active I am. I went from 400-600/2100 calories for several consecutive months and now I'm at 1700/2100 and I'm really proud of that.

      Gluten free ( coeliac disease ) , high salt to help with chronic low blood pressure. Main thing for me is drink a lot of fluids. Looking at diet options to help with constipation right now

      • Chester

        433d

        @PrincessCheese anything with plenty of fibre will help with constipation, also unless lactose intolerant diary products like yoghurts and puddings can also help, diuretics like tea an coffee, try to avoid eggs, they can cause binding

      Just curious if anyone with diabetes type 2 has tried intermittent fasting and if helped?

      • Chester

        433d

        @ScottishSea I wouldn't advice fasting with diabetes try to stick to a GI index, skipping meals or starving yourself can lower your glucose to much, you could end up having a lot of hypo issues, causing your type 2 to become type 1

      I'm vegan, gluten free, sugar free (but I do have some fruit with just no processed sugar) and I try to follow a low glycemic and whole foods diet. But sometimes I do eat occasional snacks that I love because it's hard to stay away from all packaged foods for a long time. I quit Soda back in 2017 and I don't have any fried foods. I try to stay away from oil but I'll have healthy oils in snacks sometimes but not everyday. I also follow an anti-inflammatory diet because I have eczema and hormonal imbalances so I have to eat foods that'll help support that. For instance i have to cut off tomatoes and apples because they flare up my eczema. I also try to do low-moderate-carb but that's not my worries right now.

      I tend to stick a gluten free diet but I find it hard as I havenā€™t been able to find a bread substitute that I like šŸ˜‚

      • Ashcookie

        456d

        @zozo131 oh I'm gluten free and I'm not really a bread person but they have great alternatives at healthy stores. I even love making my own from Simple Mills they have an artisan bread mix that's super easy to make and it's so good for pizza and stuff! You can message me for more info cause I've been GF since 2019.

        @HimboCollective exactly, people don't get it's all money making gimics, as long as you stick to the food groups and balance it, don't go over your calorie intake, then you can pretty much eat whatever you want. I have. HND in sports and exercise science, which includes diet and nutrition, so I'm qualified to give advice, these companies pray on people's insecurities to make money, these diets cause all sorts of health issues, the keto is the most dangerous, causes liver and kidney damage. People have actually died from doing keto

      Anything that I can eat and won't throw up I'll eat. My body is so picky every time it comes down to eat something. One minute I can eat cearal and I'll have 3 bowls. But if I just sit and wait for just a moment I could absolutely hate the idea of milk touching solids and only want pizza. So whatever I can keep down is what I eat.

    • Red914

      469d

      I made the choice when I was 12 to be a vegetarian. I feel like it has helped me as my health has declined. Six years ago my friend tried the muscle weakness test on me, and we adjusted my diet accordingly. Now I'm gluten free and I avoid nightshades. It's not an easy diet. And there are days when I don't want to eat. But it has helped my fibromyalgia and my IBS.

      • Chester

        433d

        @Red914 yet I tried all these diets, gluten free, I even tried vegan, made no difference to my pain whatsoever, diet doesn't work for everyone, everyone's balance and metabolism is different,, what works for you may not work for others

        @Gingeralamode yeah I'm in Ed recovery right now and it can be a trigger. For me though even in Ed recovery I am vegan and gluten free still so I added that under the comments here. But yeah this shouldn't be for people with EDS.

        • Chester

          433d

          @Ashcookie me to, I'm in treatment for it right now, just working out my triggers, they started a help in the community, I meat a hcsw every week at his chosen destination, I have to order a drink and food and eat it in public. I'm having my 3rd meating this week, I've gone from eating nothing to eating a fairy cake in a cafe, I'm so proud of myself, I even kept it down, this week is going to be a struggle as every week the snack gets bigger, this week is a Panini, I'm absolutely terrified but also determined, I urge anyone going through eds to try this, I've come so far, although my psychologist believes I only need 4 more sessions, so she's spread them out to every 2 weeks, I know I have to go it alone at some point, but I'm scared that if I stop seeing them Im going to revert back, even though I still get support, I'm still scared

      I eat junk food mostly not by choice but I try to be mindful anyway. I drink water everyday, no sodas/fizzy drinks but if I do occasionally drink one it will be a light one like sprite or a sparkling water. I do intermittent fasting too but it can trigger my ED so it's hard not to binge afterwards.

    • TheUglyDuckling

      470d

      My answer was ā€œfind my answer in the comments.ā€ Im low on finances and my health isnā€™t the best. I was just in the hospital shortly last year and it was a diabetic health scare. And my mental health was deteriorating. Honestly, I wasnā€™t taking my medications so I guess thatā€™s my fault. So Iā€™ve been trying to study health and how to eat better. Iā€™ve been studying brain foods, super foods, how to read labels, processed foods, etc. And Iā€™ve been trying to find ways to save money and what different apps and resources there are. Im still experimenting and havenā€™t quite found the answers yet but Iā€™m getting there. I suffer from adhd so itā€™s extra difficult for me to find motivation for stuff such as hygiene and healthy eating and exercise and weight loss. So luckily Iā€™ve been off the caffeine and sodas for awhile and Iā€™ve been drinking water and Iā€™m finally starting to notice changes and improvements. And Iā€™ve started taking my meds again but have yet to find a therapist who specializes in my subtype of ocd or a proper psychiatrist. Iā€™ve heard bad things about diets and Iā€™ve tried and failed the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle and learned that eating meat isnā€™t so bad as long as youā€™re living off the land and killing them with respect and theyā€™re lean and good types of meats and stuff. It depends I guess. I try to go easy on myself but push myself at my own pace. I donā€™t try to lose weight or look nice or like a model or anything for personal reasons but I do try to be healthy for mental agility and emotional and spiritual wellbeing since Iā€™m extra vulnerable bc Iā€™m prone to mental health crisis. I mean, I might try exercise later on down the road but Iā€™m not in a rush again for personal reasons. So basically I havenā€™t found my ā€œdietā€ or ā€œhealthy life styleā€ yet but Iā€™m sure I will eventually at my own pace.

        @TheUglyDuckling as long as you stick to the food groups and keep to your calorie intake, you can pretty much eat whatever, there is no need for these fancy diets, I have a HND in sports and exercise science which includes diet and nutrition so I'm qualified to give advice

    • A_Delicate_Flower

      471d

      Dairy free, gluten free, and sugar free. The closer I stick to this the better for me. Although with the gluten and sugar, I can "cheat" with a small treat now and then without a full on flare. Especially on days that I feel pretty good or need the extra calories because I exercised.

    • BbyBunnny

      Lots of veggies and protein,but sparingly have desserts. Or make the weight loss friendly kind. I use plain fat free Greek yogurt and a sugar free fat free instant jello pudding powder and make a mousse/dip type of dessert. Very tasty and filling.

      I have bounced about as needed. I did keto for weight loss it was amazing, but have to move to no carb no sugar less protein while pregnant, moved to vegan after birth since my baby is allergic to milk protein. It's been a roller-coaster of diets

      • Chester

        433d

        @Deathfuffy please don't go back to keto. It's dangerous, it can cause liver and kidney damage later on, there's a reason you can't have that diet during pregnancy, any diet that can damage a feotus should be a red flag for anyone, people have died from using keto diet, it may not show now, but give it 10 years and then you will know about it, I'm not saying don't diet just not keto

        @colourfulburrito I've been there and honestly it was an awful time for me. My health was like failing. I'm now in Ed recovery and I hope and pray that you someday can have peace with food and have a diet you'll stick to that'll help you smile and be happy with yourself. It's hard for me now but I don't have as much stress back then which I'm thankful about.

      I lost 20lbs fairly quickly & w/o realizing last year while planning my wedding. I found out this year that it was due to 2 of my medications having uses for weight loss (didn't know this previously). So basically my mind was telling me I wasn't hungry & I was skipping lots of meals. Now that I'm aware, and I'm no longer distracted/stressed out with wedding planning, I make sure to eat my 3 meals each day. I'm happy to say I've already gained half of the weight back (: which puts me at a healthy weight for my age & height!

      I saw a dietician and the only things I donā€™t eat are things Iā€™m allergic to, things I donā€™t like, and things that will harm my body. Otherwise, I eat anything in amounts that my body wants

      i feel like 16/8 intermittent fasting has given me a healthier relationship with food, and kinda helped with my ADHD. i don't eat til later in the day, so having mornings where i'm not sluggish from food but not hungry really help me with executive function.

      I'm allergic to everything under the sun so I eat the foods that hurt the least. these are obviously not consistent, because why would food be easy

      Currently struggling with loss of appetite. Funny enough, it started when I quit alcohol 18 months ago. But itā€™s been much worse the last 6 months. Iā€™m trying to gain some back, so Iā€™m trying to eat whatever looks good, even if I donā€™t feel hungry.

      I try to stick to a whole foods, plant based diet but I will occasionally have other stuff. I have a history with disordered eating so I'm not strict about it. Oh, I only completely avoid dairy. That one my body really hates so I don't bother with it.

      I have some trigger foods because of crohnā€™s that often cause symptoms (fried food, things with lots of food dye, high-fat cheeses, stuff like that) I eat a lot of lean meats, low-fat dairy products, and white bread and bagels

      As someone who has HS, Iā€™ve found the Mediterranean diet helps keep flare ups at bay, not forever but it does help my body chill

      Due to having stomach problems since 2016 and having blood tested for celiac disease, which I only recently found out the test was negative. (No other tests being run since). And since April of 2021 Iā€™ve had terrible episodes of, whatever the heck it is thatā€™s going on, on and off. Though I also have regular daily symptoms. Iā€™m not going to get into any of it here, but Iā€™ve been on a Low FODMAP diet, low fat, gluten free (I can eat small portions of gluten with minimal to no symptoms), lactose free, egg free, limiting soy productsā€¦ Basically, Iā€™m struggling to find foods that I can eat freely without symptoms flaring up and causing suffering šŸ™ƒšŸ¤¦

        @Aeiou back in January, my dietitian said try the low fodmap diet which didn't really work for me as I literally never eat any of those things anyway. She told me she'd call me back in 6 weeks. It's been 11 months.

          @colourfulburrito I am so sorry to hear that and I hope youā€™ve been able to see someone else! I have since worked with a gut health coach online and I did Autoimmune Paleo diet. It worked wonders and Iā€™m able to get more nutrients in my diet (with the occasional symptoms, but itā€™s much less than to begin with). If you havenā€™t heard of it already, itā€™s essentially another type of elimination diet, but it focuses on reducing inflammation and promoting healing.

      I have trained my body to eat in the afternoon/night time and don't normally eat breakfast or lunch I usually have a big meal at night a few hours before bed normally I have found that with some light snacks if I am hungry and really good hydration does the trick. I usually spend less on food than I would on a 3 meal diet and I have maintained a proper weight and health with my diet it might not be for everyone but I usually work all day like 12-16 hour days Usually just some granola bars and small smacks help me alot just a lot of water and electrolytes such as propel does a wonder for me and then eating whatever I want at dinner time! It's honestly the best for me personally with my work and lifestyle meshing the way it does and it might not be perfect sometimes I do get hungry in the middle of the day and eat if I feel the need to and other days I'm just not hungry till dinner time Just my 2 cents maybe it would work for some but not all I can basically eat literally whatever I want and not gain weight but maybe it's just my metabolism I've always been like this even when eating 2-3 meals a day when I was younger as a child and teen

      I have gastroparesis which really affects my appetite and what I'm able to eat. I watch my carbs because I'm also T1D but I eat what I can when I can. Sometimes my appetite is just nonexistent and I have to remind myself to eat. When my stomach is hurting really badly or I have a lot of nausea I rely on protein and nutritional shakes.

        @BreBee Do you like chocolate? I hear that dark chocolate is good for IBS since I suffer from it but make sure not to get ones with sugar preservatives because I accidently got a sugar free chocolate bar with Inulin that literally triggered my IBS and made my stomach hurt so bad šŸ˜”

      Thereā€™s no vegetarian option! I try to be as vegan as possible, but my executive dysfunction gets to where I canā€™t make myself food and itā€™s hard to eat a balanced vegan diet if youā€™re only eating out/microwave meals!

      Full Ketoā€¦ dropped my triglycerides below 80, raised HDL, above 60 and my LDL is mainly large particle, low number. Triglycerides/HDL is a huge risk factor for determining CADā€¦ less than 2.0 is ideal. If you do t know about particle size in cholesterol you need to research. Far more important than the number. 75% of heart attack victims DONT have high cholesterolā€¦itā€™s the ratio of T/H that matters and particle size of LDL.

      I had a gastric bypass surgery on 11/30/2004. So, I follow a 17 year ( now) post op diet .... ( which " boils down" to 1) protein 1st ... lots of water.. no snacking... Daily exercise) ...... SPECIAL TO ME **** LOW/ NO SODIUM ( My hands / feet swell to the point of PAIN šŸ˜­. NO SUGAR / USE "SUBSTITUTES " ( I have a former history of "diabetes " ( that surgery CURED) . And part of the " built in" beauty of the bypass is when you eat real sugar , it literally makes you sick...teaching you NOT TO EAT THAT ..... "NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT " ...

      The goal is to transition to the keto diet and test it for a couple of months to see what effect it has on my POTS, but I also have ARFID and so anything food-related is tricky for me.
