I felt this in my bones.

I’ll tell a doctor that almost anything I eat makes me feel bad, and when I don’t eat anything at all (which of course is not sustainable), I have amazing amounts of energy and can actually think clearly.

Then I get the look. I can see the thought process in their head: ...must be an eating disorder... Immediately followed by, “has your weight changed recently?”

Yeah, I have a genetic disorder that impacts gut function. I wasn't properly diagnosed until my mid thirties.

I was a bag of bones as a child because of it and teased because of that. I have belly bloat as a side effect and have long had to deal with the negative attitudes about weight in the US.

Etc. Ad nauseam.
