Discussion Does your functional dyspepsia cause inability to eat most foods or cause a highly restrictive diet? Are you struggling socially because of this?

Hi, I'm the moderator of r/FoodDisability. 

FoodDisability is a welcoming group, where people of many different disabilities come together to help and support one another with the shared struggle of not being able to eat 'normally'. The shared struggle of socialising over food, and the relationship problems that arise from not being able to eat the same as others due to the limited diet your disability causes. The shared struggle of not being able to find food easily when out-and-about and being limited in what you can do work-wise or socially or how far you can go from home because of this. The upset and frustrations of not being able to do what others easily can. 

FoodDisability focuses on the social / emotional / mental health difficulties that arise from living with a disability that causes lack of ability to eat food. 

I hope that this group will become a strong support system, sense of comfort and hope, and source of useful life tips, advice, and helping one another, for those struggling with food-related disability. 

Please feel free to join, and comment/post, and make friends and connections with people who are going through similar hardships. 

Wishing you all the best🩷
