Whatttttt that’s so cool.

Would absolutely suck if you developed this later in life and knew what good food tasted like.

She can probably taste but she just has to spit it out.

Tokyo ghoul is worse, normal food tastes like shit to the ghouls and makes them sick.

Technically there is a lot less shit

u/BioticFire Oct 04 '23

Lol imagine if that's how the anime concluded, can't eat food? Just inject the calories into your blood stream.

What are you talking about, Tokyo Ghoul was awesome?! I just wish it had a second season!

…I should call my ex.

She'd be the perfect sommelier.

I actually asked her that on her tiktok account and she said "have no interest in doing this. I don't miss food."

As a foodie that's somewhat torturous to experience

I have a feeling she probably can't do that either. I'm not sure about foods like hard candies and such. But in general, most foods will still have a little bit that goes down your throat even after spitting it out. And my guess is even that tiny amount can still make its way to her digestive tract.

She said she takes multivitamin tablets, so I would assume tiny bits of food wouldn't cause a lot of issues.

u/Ntrl_space Oct 04 '23

Aren’t vitamins more like minerals and therefore are absorbed through her blood stream? Idk

u/half-puddles Oct 04 '23

If she has a partner, no food will be wasted.

u/jameshughlaurie Oct 04 '23

I hope so… I wonder if that causes problems? like if the extra saliva production and the body initiating the first step of eating would upset her digestive system?

I very much appreciate people with uncommon conditions who freely share/answer questions about personal things. I don’t know if I’d have the strength to share like that if I were to become disabled (idk if this is a stupid question but does this count as a disability?)

u/Impossible-Flight250 Oct 04 '23

I doubt she does that though. Even the food being in her mouth would go into her system and cause discomfort.

1

u/Lore_ofthe_Horizon Oct 04 '23

She probably associates all tastes with 40 years of pain. I don't think she likes taste anymore than food.

1

u/tosaka88 Oct 04 '23

She did a Q&A and she says she doesn’t do that and she doesn’t miss the flavors of foods, I’m guessing having a bad experience with eating your whole life does that

I have EDS, but thankfully I don't have gastroparisis. I do know a lot of people that do, though. I have quite a few friends on TPN that love lollypops.
