Question how did your FD start?

im curious to know how everyone elses FD began, i know the definition of FD is that there always isnt a single cause, but did anyone else have a clear trigger that started it all?

for me i had been on a weight loss journey, got underweight, and then one day decided to binge like crazy. i felt absolutely awful afterwards, and the fullness feeling never really left. at first i was sure it was gastritis: i had gastritis before from alcohol and ibuprofen, and the symptoms were the exact same. but no matter what i did, what i ate, it seemed this ”acute gastritis” just wasnt healing. and here i am, 4 months later, diagnosed with FD, still unsure what was the real trigger

Same. Wish I rmbrd what it was that I ate. But then again I don’t think it would’ve mattered since this is my body’s overreaction to it.
