American food products that are made entirely of strange chemicals, and which are banned in Europe, were basically the only thing I lived for as a child. Like what else even was there.

Lowkey, jealous my mom was stopped from putting me on a non GMO, sugar free, carb free, lactose free, organic only diet, solely because my dad likes hostess sweets to much.

I had the ✨cool snacks✨ maybe, once a year. (I'm talking, fruit roll ups, gushers, anything gummy, most gums, ECT) until I was able to like, get them myself anyway, (around 15/16)

yeagh. my mom would buy a box of swiss rolls every time we went to the grocery store. the fights over food in my house were. hm. extreme and destructive! and pretty emotionally devastating considering we were all hungry children haha. my mom would also make us lots of home made desserts. i like hot cross buns a lot. my sister has a theory that mom spent so much time making us desserts as a replacement for actually spending time with us, which i think is true. my sister links being given food with like, being loved and cared about.

i missed out on that simply by almost never feeling loved. i appreciate it when im given food, but i don't like food much so chances are i'm not gonna eat it. it's the thought that i appreciate tho.

we used to not get much fast food when we were younger, it was a real treat, not so much as time went on hah. we would get little cesars every week after church. i still like little cesars more than most "real" pizza. i like the soft crust.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i dont remember what my point was. i guess we're just sharing.

Day 25: Low-FODMAP Gluten-free Brownies

My younger kid has been kind of razzing me through this whole low-FODMAP diet about my becoming a vegan dessert Insta mom, who lies constantly about how amazing her kelp-based brownies are, or whatever. With my experience so far with low-FODMAP desserts, that is abso-tutely not happening. That said, these brownies are totally decent. They're not amazing, but I'm not expecting that.

I'm not even that big of a dessert person -- I've joked about having a cheese tooth, not a sweet tooth -- but there are certainly times when I want something sweet. From looking through the candy aisle at the corner store, it looks like the commercially made candies you can eat on a low-FODMAP diet are things like certain flavors of Mike & Ikes or gummi bears. Restrictions on lactose knock out most American made chocolate, and high fructose corn syrup knocks out the rest. Without further ado, to the recipe.

Low-FODMAP Gluten-free Brownies

1/3 c brown rice flour

2/3 unsweetened cocoa powder (either Dutch process or not, doesn't matter)

3/4 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 sticks lactose-free butter

1/2 c maple syrup

1 package dark chocolate chips, 1 c reserved

1 tbsp vanilla

3 large eggs

Preheat oven to 350F and grease and flour an 8x8 brownie pan

Mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a sauce pan, melt the butter, maple syrup, and 1 c of the chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Just get it to melty, then take it from the heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time. It'll end up with a pudding-like consistency.

Pour in the dry mixture and stir to combine. You can also mix in the rest of the package of chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool for 15.

The big thing with this recipe is vetting the chocolate chips you get: most chocolate chips you can find in the grocery store have too much milk in them to be low-FODMAP. I ended up ordering a three pack of Gefen Vegan Semi-Sweet Real Dark Chocolate Chips because they're dairy-free, which are 100% fine. If you can't find lactose-free butter (or that shit is too expensive) you could try either coconut oil or vegan butter (which is what I think they're calling margarine these days, lol).

These brownies weren't especially brownie-like. They just didn't have the fudginess of normal brownies, but they were still good and, more importantly, sated my need for some chocolate. I bet you could double the recipe, omit the chocolate chips mixed in at the end, and pour the batter into cake pans, and you could have slightly dense but serviceable cakes for a layered birthday cake. Idek what you would do for frosting, but that's a problem for another day.

Disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to minimize FODMAPs in my diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients.

Sugar-free for two weeks.

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate that the body converts into glucose and uses for energy. However, the body uses natural and added sugar differently, which affects overall health.

Fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and grains contain natural sugar (fructose and lactose) Natural sources of sugar serve as a steady supply of energy, keep your metabolism stable, they are digested slower and help you feel full for longer.

Chemically produced sugar, known as added sugar, can be found in almost everything that you see on the shelves in the grocery stores. The body breaks down added sugar rapidly, which causes insulin and blood sugar levels to skyrocket, and you don’t feel full after you’re done eating, regardless of how much you ate. 

Natural sugar is important for your health, but your body doesn’t need any added sugars.

How much added sugar is okay?

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 24 grams of added sugar per day for women and 36 grams for men. 

First, read the food labels when you are in the store to monitor your added sugar intake!

Look for things like: brown sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup, fruit juice concentrates, high-fructose corn syrup, honey, invert sugar, malt sugar, molasses, syrup sugar molecules ending in "ose" (dextrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose). Total sugar, which includes added sugar, is also listed on the labels in grams (but keep in mind that it’s usually the amount per serving and there’s ALWAYS more than one serving in a package).

Avoid sweetened beverages (soda, sweetened smoothies and juices, sweetened coffee drinks, sports drinks, creamers), sauces and dressings with added sugar (ketchup, BBQ sauce, honey mustard), sweetened dairy products (yogurt, ice cream, chocolate milk), sugary baked goods (cookies, cakes, donuts, sweet bread), sugary breakfast foods (cereals, bars, granola, flavored oatmeal), candy (chocolate, gummy candies, caramels), refined grains (white bread, white pasta, white rice), sugary alcoholic beverages.

It is also recommended to avoid artificial and naturally derived low or no-calorie sweeteners like Splenda, Equal, stevia, and monk fruit. So when it says it's sugar-free and 0 calories doesn't mean it's healthy.

What will happen in two weeks of no sugar?

Withdrawal symptoms. Your body is used to getting a quick energy boost from sugar, you will be craving sugary foods in the first few days. You may also experience headaches, mood swings and irritability, low energy and fatigue.

Stabilized Blood Sugar Levels. Your pancreas won't need to produce as much insulin and your energy levels may become more consistent throughout the day.

Improved Metabolism. First, your body will start to use stored fat for energy more efficiently. And the risk of developing conditions like Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome will decrease.

Weight Loss. Sugary foods are usually high calorie, so reducing added sugar will reduce your calorie intake which will eventually lead to weight loss.

foods that make me feel safe *TW ED***

Note: I will not be providing calorie counts for any of these. Whatever food makes you feel safe is valid regardless of how many calories are in it. You deserve nutrition and you deserve to feel safe above all else (regarding food).

So hi, I haven’t rlly posted anything about myself, and a safe food list seems like the least triggering information I could give relating to my ed. As you’ll probably notice, most of these are sweet bc I’m an absolute sugar fiend. Anyways enjoy ig? Idk but ily and ur valid, byeeee :))))

🥴Sour Gummy Bears (specifically the Haribo brand)

Idk why but I think it’s bc they’re so tiny, and I can’t eat too many bc of the citric acid. They remind me of being a little kid which is comforting, and I kinda just like the process of chewing something for a while so they’re good. Also ofc they’re sugary.

🥴 Those Big “Gourmet” Lollipops (they’re sold individually, usually at like Walgreens or smth)

They’re big so they last forever and give me the feeling of eating for a while, but they’re not too big so I don’t feel particularly guilty. The cotton candy one is the best. Idk if I’m doing a great job at helping you visualize them but I feel like you know which ones I’m talking about? Idk.

🥴 Sugar Free Jello Pudding

I usually make them with almond milk, and they’re so so good and filling. I never rlly liked chocolate pudding before my ed but I rlly like these idk why. The chocolate and white chocolate ones r the best. The pistachio one tastes like realizing you’re not getting into your dream college, wouldn’t recommend.

🥴 Soup (non-cream based)

It’s warm and filling, and there r like infinite types so that’s cool. It’s rlly bad for you, but I love the Campbell’s canned chicken noodle soup, it’s so salty and tastes like a shot of straight msg right through my veins. Also kinda reminds me of cheap chicken ramen, which is a big fear food of mine so that’s nice ig. Non cream based though, bc just like every other poc apparently, I’m lactose intolerant 😩

🥴 Fruit

I’ve convinced myself that I don’t have to count (most) fruit calories into my daily total so that’s pretty good I think. I do count bananas, avocados, and other fruit like those though. But grapes and watermelon? Completely safe, probably because they’re mostly water.

🥴 Banana Bread

I think it might be a pretty unconventional safe food bc it’s carbs, sugar, bananas, and baked all in one. But I find it fairly safe, mainly bc I used a low cal recipe so it ends up being a doable amount per slice. Also I can pack in flax seed and protein powder and a bunch of other supplements for hEaLtH and pretend that I’m not literally mentally ill.

🥴 Water

Putting this here bc I KNOW some of y’all r not drinking enough water. Drinking water isn’t suddenly going to undo the negative effects of your ed and make you “safe”, but it’s still rlly important.

So yea that’s all I can think of rn. I know there are definitely a few more but i suddenly don’t feel like typing anymore, and they’re also rlly basic safe foods (Diet Coke, gum, black coffee, etc).

DAMIJANI CUISINE

(lore under cut)

The Empire of Damijana has just one hold, a mega-city simply called Damijana. This highly technologically-advanced empire has polluted all of the land around it, making it unsuitable for farming. Because of this, Damijana cannot produce enough food for its population and must instead import it from other Great Kingdoms.

Though they import ingredients from all over the world, the Damijani people still add their own personal touches that make their cuisine unique.

BREAKFAST BAR

Life in Damijana is fast-paced, and many locals simply don’t have time to sit down and eat breakfast. Breakfast bars are a massively popular staple for the working class because they can be eaten on the go. These bars are made from oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and are loaded with sugar. They have little nutritional value, but they provide a quick burst of energy to get through a long morning commute.

SUGAR CEREAL

Sugary grain-based cereals are hardly unique to Damijana, and are usually imported from Zareen Empire where they originated. However, 95% of Damijana’s population is made up of red elves, and elves are notorious for their relationship with sugar. This artificially-sweetened cereal is already very sweet, but not sweet enough to satisfy the Damijani pallet, so they add a few sugar cubes to their bowl. So much sugar would sicken other species, but the elven body processes it with grace. Most Damijani do suffer from lactose intolerance however, so instead of cow’s milk, they eat their cereal with “silk milk”, a lactose-free product that is made from giant caterpillars.

SPICY VEGGIE WRAP

Unlike so-called “green elves”, red elves are naturally resistant to burning, whether by fire or chemical. They simply don’t feel the heat of a flame or the burn of a hot pepper. For that reason, the Damijani elves have developed a taste for ultra-spicy cuisine, able to reap its flavor and health benefits with none of the pain. The spicy veggie wrap is a prime example of this. It is simply a toasted flour wrap stuffed with lettuce, tomatoes, mixed peppers, and onions, all drizzled with hot sauce. On the go, it is wrapped in paper and eaten by hand. But when eaten at home, Damijani prefer to eat this messy dish with utensils.

TEA AND SCONE

The Damijani people survive on caffeine, and tea is the most popular vehicle to get it into their bodies. Tea is typically eaten with a sugary scone or other pastry, both providing a burst of energy to start the morning or just get through the rest of the day. The most popular teas in Damijana are lemon, cinnamon, and green tea. Their preference for scone flavors tends to change through the generations, but blueberry and cherry remain time-tested staples.

DAMIJANI-STYLE PEPAJA

Pepaja is a dish that originated in Matuzu Kingdom and has since spread all over the world. Every culture seems to have their own unique version of this food, and so too do the Damijani. Matuzan pepaja consists of a piece of seasoned flatbread topped with cheese, tomatoes, pineapple, and chicken. Damijani-style pepaja replaces these things with hot peppers, green olives, fish, and pitter cheese—a lactose-free product made from caterpillars. The taste is said to be very different from its Matuzan cousin.

EGG SOUP

Egg soup is considered a Damijani “comfort food” that is popular across all wealth classes. Traditionally, it is made from chicken broth, thick buckwheat noodles, clams, onions, and topped with fried eggs. Poorer classes tend to omit some ingredients and may even eat it with only the broth and noodles, as eggs are particularly expensive in this empire.

HOT JELLIES

A star-shaped gummy candy that comes in many flavors, but cinnamon is the original and remains the most popular. They are coated in sugar and have a sweet and spicy taste. This candy is a point of pride for the empire, for it is one of its few foods that is not imported. It was invented locally and is still produced locally. It has always been massively popular with the locals, but especially with children. For this reason, the Damijani government has gotten involved with the original company, offering  advertising subsidies under one condition: each package must contain government-sponsored literature. This comes in the form of a paper scroll, which contains a variety of “educational” puzzles, games, stories, and sometimes stickers or small toys. Heavy-handed propaganda is always worked into these activities, but that doesn’t stop children and their parents from gobbling it all up with the candy. Damijani police officers are even equipped with Hot Jellies, which they give out to citizens for free over the course of each shift. Due to subsidies, these candies are dirt-cheap and affordable even for the empire’s poorest.

ALMOND PIE

Almond pie is the traditional dessert of choice in Damijana. It is a given at any wedding or birthday celebration, and can be found on the table for many other occasions too. It is a pie filled with almond butter and fruit—usually apples or cherries—topped with whipped cream, crushed almonds, and berries. It is described as a “heavy” food which is dense in calories, primarily due to the almonds. A little slice of this pie goes a long way for the waistline.

GOSOPLI

An extremely spicy and astringent alcoholic beverage that is almost impossible to find outside of Damijana, because no one but red elves can tolerate it. It is made from fermented wheat, tomatoes, zestberries, and a concentrated blend of the hottest peppers on Looming Gaia. Humans and other species are often hospitalized after just one shot, left with damage to their esophagus and stomach lining. But for the red elves, it’s nothing but smooth sipping and a pleasant buzz.

GUTTER ROAST

Fresh meat is very expensive in Damijana, as the empire’s pollution has killed all the native wild game and local livestock operations. However, there is still one animal that has survived the odds and remains a rampant pest in Damijana’s lower sectors, and that is the humble rodent. Citizens in the Middle, Sun, and Star Sectors would never consider catching and eating one of these vermin. But for those in the poverty-stricken Shadow and Gutter Sectors, rodents are considered delicacy. Though these animals are plentiful and not particularly hard to catch, they do tend to be riddled with diseases and not always safe to eat. The Damijani government has spent a lot of money running campaigns in the lower sectors, warning citizens not to eat vermin. Many think that money would have been better spent simply feeding those citizens.
