That sounds tough. I once knew someone who had a medical issue with severe dietary restrictions like you, and a tone deaf coworker was like “haha at least you can lose weight, sounds great!” FFS
Tell me about it. My flare up started months ago and I’ve dropped a clothing size. Everything I have is baggy on me now. It’s been so bad that I’m being put onto immune suppression medication in the hope I don’t have flares again. I also have autism traits like sensory issues and being unable to make eye contact as well as poor reading of social ques.
Sounds like a state of permanent fight or flight causing chronic inflammation.
My recommendation based on similar issues would be to expand your working memory so that the world is less overwhelming. This will reduce your level of danger preparedness which will reduce your inflammation.
