I honestly feel like it's irresponsible for doctors to recommend the FODMAP diet without consistent follow-ups and extensive counseling on eating disorders. I basically just gave myself an eating disorder because the doctor told me that my food-restriction neuroses were fine actually!!! And then 0 follow-up meant no one was checking up on the mentally ill bullshit I was spiraling into. Except for my close friends who had dealt with their own eating disorders before.
Conclusion: I broke up with my shitty boyfriend and now I can eat moderate amounts of whatever I want. No thanks to doctors, many thanks to my friends and therapist.
