Need ideas and motivation for weight gain and my dysregulated nervous system pleaseee

Hi, I really struggle atm. I am veryy underweight and my main issues apart from that are severe visceral hypersensitivity/ibs apparently caused by nervous system dysregulation and my system being stuck in fight or flight for years.

I have bloating and it is extremly painful I also have bowel issues as in very slow motility and just a weak digestion in general.

I am low fodmap atm but it only helps a bit tbh but better than not low fodmap so I would like to keep it that way. I tried every supplement/probiotics whatever you name it I tried it. However, nothing helped which now makes sense as my nervous system is a main driver.

I now am so underweight that it affects my health a low and I need to gain like 20kg. But how?

I did have a dietician but she could not help me that much and I also tried therapy and stuff like that as well as antidepressants but my main issue is bloating and low weight now.

What snacks or foods can I implement into my diet? What to avoid? What is naturally hard to digest? I feel bad about eating white rice or souerdough or sugar and dairy as everyone says that is not great for gut health and all but what is true. I struggle so bad.

Also what meals and mealtimes are good?

Anyone with experience with visceral hypersensitivity or gaining weight with such? It is such a pain and I am soo desperate.

I am a 20yk female btw not working atm living at home still.

I also used to struggle with orthorexia/anorexia and am scared it is creeping back in now that I lost so much weight.

Thank you for any tip or attempt to help me🙏🏻

Hello! I am on a low FODMAP diet and I am struggling finding something that is gluten and dairy free (can’t eat either) that is quick and easy.

I am wanting something healthy, that will keep me satiated for a couple hours and I can just grab and go. I’m really busy and most of my job is on the road.

Any suggestions?

Greek yogurt?

I have an intolerance to almonds, coconuts, oats and dairy so I’ve just been buying lactose free greek yogurt, until I found out Chobani apparently was in a lawsuit for causing cancer. Anyone know of any lactose free yogurt brands that don’t have any probiotics or cause cancer? I’m so stuck!

Has anyone tried these fiber supplements?

I have so many food triggers that I am unable to get my fiber from actual foods, so the constipation is real.

Has anyone tried these? Did they get things moving? Other suggestions are welcome too!

spring onion clarification

hi y'all i got a question i couldn't find an answer to. so as most of us know the white part is high fodmap but most people tolerate the green parts. my question is the part where it kind of... transitions. where the outside is green but when you look inside there's some crunchier white parts and not just the green.

idk if anyone knows what i mean, but do y'all tolerate those parts? or just eat the all green parts? bc those parts are usually very little :(
