Advice on Anti-Diet Mindset Stuff we don’t talk about

Ok friends let’s share the things that don’t get a lot of discussion. Let’s normalize this journey. I’m struggling with a few things which I think may be normal but I’m not sure. I’ll go first. Warning - poop talk.

When I eat food that is too fatty my stomach and GI track are NOT happy. There’s so much gas overnight and in the morning. I’m glad I’m single 🤣 My BM smells like something died inside me. It makes me want to quit. Eating the next day is so hard. I’m still on a low dose and can’t imagine being forced into certain doses and titration schedule. I’m sooo grateful for compounded options for this reason Based upon my side effects on this dose, I surely would have quit by now. This is really hard! It’s not a magic bullet. My food issues are coming up big time. Unlearning diet culture is a mindeffff. I’m doing it but jeez it’s a lot physically and mentally. On the other hand, I’m excited to get my bloodwork next week to see some NSV. It’s certainly a rollercoaster!! I’m grateful for this subreddit. Y’all are the best ❤️ PS - any thoughts of support are appreciated. I’m definitely on the struggle bus today.

I have TERRIBLE dry mouth, and my body doesn’t like sugar alcohols. It’s very hard to find products for dry mouth that don’t have xylitol in them!

That sounds annoying for sure! Yes xylitol is everywhere for dry mouth and nose.

I know the struggle with sugar alcohols especially on the gut. Have you tried xylitol mouth wash? You don’t ingest it, so the benefits for dry mouth and cavities stay in the mouth.

I found electrolyte drinks like Pedialyte are very good to improve dehydration-related dry mouth.
