#fiber in bar form or mixed into a sludgy drink did not help

I couldn't eat whatever I wanted as a child because my access to food was limited to what my mother allowed into the house, and junk food was not on that list except for special occasions like getting some xmas or easter candy or chips and dip being a part of birthday celebrations or lesser holidays like the fourth of July. In fact, I was forced to eat a lot of things that made me feel sick because "you eat what's put in front of you or you or you can stay sitting at the table until it's time for bed". I'm pretty sure that being forced to drink a large glass of milk every night that made me feel sick was what CAUSED me to develop lactose intolerance. Not to mention the fact that getting throw-up sick was a regular part of childhood that completely stopped once I was out of school and had some say in what I did or didn't eat. So I'd much rather be an adult and have some control over my diet.

what I wouldn't give to have the gastric constitution of a nine-year-old again. like you know when you're in grade school and you're like okay I'm gonna have some gushers and pizza and one of those dubious chalky grocery store cookies and then go run around with my friends! and now as an adult if I eat the wrong brand of peanut butter I have to lie down for an hour
