A conversation: someone describing all the ways in which #fibromyalgia changed their life, and someone else responding with a cheery "Have you tried giving up all #FODMAPs† yet?" My reply was as follows.
"A friend with fibromyalgia calls this the 'cucumber water' question, as in 'have you tried cucumber water?' Anyone with any #chronic #illness has most likely tried anything you're likely to suggest. Unless they ask you for ideas, sympathy and support are all you should offer."
That was as civil as I could possibly be, and probably more than they deserved. I think there's at least the *possibility* of getting through in this case, which is why I didn't immediately turn green and rip my shirt off.
But having observed in detail the effects of #fibro and other #chronic #diseases on the lives of people I love—
NO. DO NOT.

†Fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols ... one or more of which occur in most of the meals most people eat every day. But sure, you should just drastically limit your diet because some stranger on the internet says so.

#fodmaps I've noticed if I try to explain FODMAP sensitivity to people, they are confused and seem to think it's something fake, but if I just say a certain food disagrees with me, they accept it without question.
There's a ton of research behind FODMAP sensitivity, whereas a food "disagreeing" with me is subjectively defined, but people chose to believe in the latter not the former

I have eaten too many things this week that I should not have, and it's not even that I want to, it's just to avoid having to f-ing discuss it yet again with people who can't grasp it (wilful ignorance, imho) #fodmaps
Because of our various sensitivities, there are fewer foods we're able to eat these days. So I'm thinking of basing our meals more around SOUP (from scratch, not Campbell's). PROS: More fresh veggies. Easy to make low sodium and low fat. Easy to leave out problem foods. Probably will eat more slowly instead of shoveling into mouth. Can throw leftovers in the pot. CONS: more prep which isn't good on low energy days, but a lot of veggie chopping can be done in advance.
