grew up very “food sheltered”, we were never allowed to eat junk food, fast food, as my mom never missed a day making a tremendous meal for us. always with clean ingredients, and lots of meat.

i never had any gut issues until i started eating junk food, and fast food around 17/18. i wanted to try all the things i wasn’t able to growing up.

soon after, i developed gut issues that plagued me with low energy, and “ibs” symptoms. i also was using junk food to cope with sobriety.

once i started correlating the awful processed foods with my awful health, i went back to home cooked meals, and ingredients. i do still have some days where i eat crap with friends, but cutting down on it absolutely made all those “ibs” symptoms go away. i also couldn’t afford another trip to the gastroenterologist which helped. nostr:note1j482z6r2nd0ee2pzqy870m8dlwvy7fue27nfcgksdq9gfs4z4a0sg0lg0r
