I think your physician was out of line and uninformed - but it seems like so many are. For years I was a very strict vegetarian and when my doctor of years told me I needed to quit being a vegetarian I asked him whether my body would rebel - he said oh no - it does not make any difference what you eat. Well I ate meat and got sick - many many times. There are still certain foods - meat, fats - that I have a very hard time tolerating and he is still clueless.

I think you have to listen to your body and make gradual eating changes. What doctors fail to remember is that when we are babies we don't just start off eating big hunks of prime rib and stuff like that. We start off eating pureed veggies and fruit and add in some pureed meat - but if you look in the babyfood isle it is mostly fruits, veggies, yogurt, custard, cereals. If babies whose systems are just learning how to digest food have to eat that stuff then why would a doctor think that an adult, whose food intake has been skewed, whose body is simply not used to processingfood, can just jump into eating everything and not have problems. Morons!

Anyway to find a speciality doctor who knows a thing or two about the physical responses and problems of an ED?
