    That sounds tough. I once knew someone who had a medical issue with severe dietary restrictions like you, and a tone deaf coworker was like “haha at least you can lose weight, sounds great!” FFS

      Tell me about it. My flare up started months ago and I’ve dropped a clothing size. Everything I have is baggy on me now. It’s been so bad that I’m being put onto immune suppression medication in the hope I don’t have flares again. I also have autism traits like sensory issues and being unable to make eye contact as well as poor reading of social ques.

        I’ve also had stomach issues that cause sudden, rapid weight loss, and it all started with some weird food poisoning, but that sounds horrific. I realize how fortunate I am, now, and wish you the best and speediest healing.
