Students with food intolerances deserve a safe, free lunch too. Failing to provide that because you think it’s unnecessary is just ableism. “Eating this food causes them pain because their body can’t digest it, but it’s not life threatening so we don’t need to accommodate it” is such a bad take. Yes, let’s just make them sick every day instead of giving them the option of safe, free foods to eat. So poor kids will have to choose every day if they’re going to starve themselves or if they’re going to be in excruciating pain the rest of the day when they’re trying to learn. Makes no sense.

Furthermore, I don’t think people realize what food intolerances entail. It’s not just, “oh, eating this food gives me a stomach ache.” It is often caused by the body’s inability to break down the sugars in the food because the pancreas and/or the small intestine doesn’t make enough digestive enzymes. People with food intolerances can have a number of disabling conditions, especially because of malnutrition and malabsorption. I am dependent on digestive enzyme supplements, as well as vitamins because I can’t eat and/or get the nutrition I need to thrive without them. This is disabling. Yes, even if it’s not going to immediately kill me if I eat the wrong thing.

Don’t put people in places where they’re required to work, promising that food will be provided for free, and then only provide foods that will make them sick.

The reality of whatever the fuck is wrong with me. Is it endometriosis or sever ibs c? Who knows. I cant see a gynecologist until July so im just waiting and hoping at this point.

This is me after spending an hour on the toilet this morning, unable to fully empty my bowels despite lactulose taken in the early hours. It has been working for the past few days, but this morning it decided otherwise. I am getting my period on friday, currently on day 2 break of the pill. I am convinced this is all related to my menstral cycle as diet does not change my issues.

This is a major flare up and im stuck in the office today so have another 11 hours before im home. I dont feel comfortable using the toilets at work bc it takes me so long.

Just ranting and showing the reality of constipation and chronic illness. Please do not send me advice or ask if i have tried x, y, z.

Here’s a list of things I keep in my Chronic IllnessTM go-bag.

I have GERD, Intestinal Malrotation, IBS-D, B12 Deficiency, No Gallbladder, and Abdominal Adhesions so my bag is more focused on my messed up digestive/nervous system. I bring my bag with me most places because I struggle to make it through a single week without a flare up of some kind. It cost a lot up front for me to put together, but I really can’t imagine functioning without this now and it’s easy to replace the stuff I use.

Totally recommend it if you’re chronically ill, and I recommend these particular things if you have any of the same conditions as me.

Food Items/Supplements:

BelliWelli Bars - They were developed by someone with IBS. They have probiotics. I usually can’t tolerate probiotic products, but these are also low FODMAP so I can digest them pretty easy. Not available in stores yet. I bought this online from their store. I recommend the Cookies and Crème, Strawberry Shortcake, and Lemon White Chocolate.

Liquid IV - I get extremely dehydrated because of IBS-D which then causes dizziness and tachycardia. This is a hydration multiplier / electrolyte mix you add to water. You can get this at the supermarket.

Powerade - I drink these regularly. Again, I need electrolytes because of IBS-D. I also need B-12 and Powerade contains B-12. You can get this at the supermarket.

Gin-Gins - These are chewy ginger candies. I get nauseous easily. Ginger helps, and these taste pretty good. They have different flavors. The peanut ginger chews are really good. You can get this at the supermarket.

Olly Goodbye Stress gummies - I have anxiety which makes my IBS-D worse and vice versa. My coworker gave me one of these and they did help, so I got a small 10 count bag of them. You can get this at the supermarket, and some retail stores like Old Navy.

B12 Awake Patches - These go on the inside of your wrist or the top of your foot. It definitely works on keeping me awake. The only problem is I get contact dermatitis from putting it on my wrist. It’s okay, but less effective on my foot. You can get this at Target or Ulta.

Clothing Items:

Blisslets - These are fashionable acupressure bracelets. Seabands also work and they’re less expensive, but they’re very obviously nausea bracelets. These are discrete. They really help me avoid nausea without medication.

I keep a change of clothes. T-Shirt and underwear from Aerie. Linen pants from Old Navy. Loose fitting comfortable clothes are important to have if you have digestive health problems. Aerie has comfortable clothing and they’ve been working on inclusive clothes. Aerie also sells period underwear that is less expensive than major brands. I have those in my bag as well.

Bathroom and Hygiene Items:

Public bathrooms can suck, but they’re necessary.

Soap Strips - I got a container of these from the travel section of 5 Below. These are strips of paper-like soap that you can use when there’s no hand soap available.

Poo Pourri Toilet Spray - We all know going to the bathroom stinks literally and figuratively. If you’re concerned about making a stink, I recommend this. I’m very sensitive to smells so it’s a must for me. You can get this in the travel section of most supermarkets.

Potty Packs - What really sucks about public bathrooms is that you can run out of toilet paper and it can be really unclean in there. My local supermarket sells these in the travel sections. They come with toilet paper, seat cover, wet wipes and hand sanitizer. They fit in a small bag or purse.

Flushable wipes - A lot of public bathrooms can’t handle wipes. So I pretty much just have these to clean my body if needed. You can get them at pretty much any supermarket.

Crest Scope Minibrushes - You can find these in the travel section of most supermarkets. Helps keep your mouth clean, especially if you get nauseous like I do or you need to get a bad taste out of your mouth to prevent being nauseous. They have a toothpick on them too.

Grin Floss - This is eco-conscious dental floss. You can get them in different flavors like mint, and I found these at my local supermarket.

I also keep a Wet Brush and extra hair ties to keep my hair out of my face. I separate bathroom items from other hygiene items into two oblong makeup style bags I got from Target. That way I can also take one small bag or another and transfer it to my main bag if I don’t want or need my whole go-bag with me.

I keep two pill containers that are divided into large and small sections I can label with an erasable marker. I got them off Etsy. I won’t list all my supplements / medications because what I need to take isn’t going to be the same as everyone else and I’m no one’s doctor.

Finally, I keep fidget things in my bag to reduce my anxiety!

Tomorrow I call to set up and appointment for a colonoscopy. I’m absolutely terrified, both because of having the colonoscopy and also by having to call the offices because I have no idea what to say or how to say it.

Ugh.

I like when people tell me IBS isn’t life threatening nor does it cause “real damage” to ‘reassure me.’ Thank you for absolutely nothing. 💜

Note to self: Don't suddenly start eating a lot of almond butter or nutritional yeast- you will regret it.
