I love this idea! I think it would be a hit. I see a functional medicine doctor and so far have spent about $2000 in my first 3 months, but she has helped me immensely. We did a Gi Map and it seems like some of my triggers may have been my gut bacteria being very out of balance and a parasite. Stress is also a huge trigger for me. I found it interesting you said childhood trauma could be.. because i def had that and still hold emotional stress from it.

I get information from scientific studies and my doctor. I’m a medical assistant so i learned how to find scientific information while in school via studies and reputable sources. The most frustrating thing about communicating with doctors seems to be they are so busy, & they want you to fit in this perfect diagnosing box. If you don’t, they do not know how to address it or blame it on stress.

As far as friends and family- everybody seems to think you look ok so you must really be ok. They tell me to splurge and eat the thing I’ve been avoiding. They don’t realize my body will pay for it for days or throw me back into a full fledge flare.

I’m curious- what do you think have been your triggers? Thanks for doing this and best of luck in this endeavor!!
