I was a yr ago during a test before was going to have weight loss surgery(cause of ins didn't have that done) but I had no symptoms at that time till 2 days ago when I kept feeling sick/nauseous after eating or drinking certin things (today is been better) pretty much any info you would like to share would be great. I do got eating disorder also along with other physical and mental/emotional issues along with a special needs parent.

Thanks for opening up! Sounds like youve got a lot to deal with!

I think its worth noting that everyone experiences this really differently; for me personally I had a lot of nausea, vomiting and really severe pain but for others it was gastric tubes and for others all they had to do was eliminate a couple of foods. So everyones so different and can be minor or extreme.

The biggest suggestion/tip would be to get a food diary. Write down everything youre eating and everything that youre feeling. Try to keep in mind that some foods might not trigger a reaction as quickly as others.

You can do this either on paper or via app, but if you can stick with it for a while I think it will help so you can find key patterns. Once you find some patterns you can start to work on what works for you with your food and digestion.

It might also help to see a Dietician as theyre really the experts here too

Hope you can get all the support you need!
