I can't do avacados either (they KILL my stomach). I was built like a skelleton for most of my life (think a pale, gangly spider) and I know how hard it is to put on weight, not having hit 100 lbs. until I was almost 20.
When I started high school I was 14, 5'8", 74 pounds. It was the IBS, but everybody thought I had an eating disorder. I know how that makes you feel, when no one will listen to you. {{{HUGS}}}} for being strong and getting through this!
I don't know if the eating disorder specialist will help. Your protests might just reinforce what they already believe (she wouldn't be here unless she had a problem). I do suggest that if you go, print out some of your posts from this site, and keep a running list in your purse of all your symptoms, meds, etc. regarding the IBS. I know this helps for a lot of us here who are visiting doctors for the first time.
{{{{{{{{BIG HUGS!}}}}}}}} and good luck to you!! I totally get where you're coming from.
Thanks for posting, too-- It really helps me to read your story because it reinforces that all the time I was growing u p dealing with the same things I wasn't as crazy as I thought at the time!!
