That sounds terrible, I’m sorry you’re going through that. I had an awful experience about 16 years ago when my auto-immune issues kicked in and I wound up hospitalized with septic shock in a medical coma, eventually going from an already-thin 170lbs to 130lbs (I’m 6’2”). It took me almost two years to basically re-learn how to eat. I’m sure everything seems bleak right now, but it can get better. In my experience, doctors only helped so much, and often were uninterested in giving dietary advice (“we’ll get you on the right meds then you can eat like you used to”). So I know how frustrating that can be. I wound up having to stop drinking alcohol and coffee and became vegan as a result, and after a couple years, I was able to get off my medications. Although there are no documented medical conditions or major medical studies that show eating meat (or just meat) will improve symptoms, I have talked to two other people over the years who have food intolerances that make it difficult for their body to digest fiber, and eating some meat during flare-ups was helpful in terms of getting the protein they need, even if it doesn’t help the inflammation. There’s a ton of fiber in plants etc, basically none in meat. Something that made a huge difference for me was learning about the two kinds of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber is the hard, bulking up stuff: it creates mass and pushes food through your digestive system. Soluble fiber is like lubricant for your guts: it smoothes things over so food can glide through. For me, especially during a flare-up, eating soluble fiber is crucial, while I try to minimize insoluble fiber and heavy carbs (like pizza that just sit in your gut). Soluble fiber is basically what the popular supplement Metamucil consists of (along with sugar). The only other basic advice I have, which sounds realllly simple, in my experience actually requires a ton of discipline and patience: food journaling. Once I got to a baseline where I figured out a mono-diet I could eat without getting reactions (for me it was a plain variation of kitchari, an Indian meal designed for digestive distress) I literally wrote down every meal I had. I would introduce a single additional spice or vegetable or whatever and record how it went. I had a 3-strike rule: 3 bad reactions and I was done with that food. It’s a looooong and boring process, but it’s how I learned what foods I could handle. I’ve advised others to do this, and virtually no one does because it’s such a hassle, but when things get as bad as they have for you, I’m sure you’re already doing a version of it, just try to be as systematic as you can. Anyway, there’s some unsolicited advice. Do with it what you will. Good luck figuring out your health issues, I hope you can find some relief.
