Anyway I'm not giving up diet coke. I can't eat gluten or most sugar substitutes or basically any FODMAP foods at all, so fuck 'em if they think they can take my diet coke too.

I never drank or smoked and this is how I get rewarded ! My ibs didn’t get bad till ten years ago but I never could eat dairy ! A milkshake turned me into machine gun Kelly at age of 18

oof, I'm so sorry, that sounds awful. Mine did't get bad till maybe a decade ago too, and it took ages to work out what was wrong with me. I also have hashimotos and chronic pain so basically my body is just a weird bowl of jello most of the time.

It's a thyroid condition. Ha, jinx on the mediterranean diet! I can't eat seafood (allergic to shellfish, don't like normal fish) but chicken and mediterranean veg is what makes up the majority of my dinners.

CAN'T EAT CHEESE omg I would die. I probably shouldn't be able to but I've eaten so much dairy over the course of my life I've probably built up some sort of resistance (princess bride iocane powder-style).
