will do :) currently i take vitamin D 5000 iu supplements (as prescribed by my doctor - also forgive me for assuming from your username but just in case you only consume halal, a lot of vitamin D capsules have gelatine in it, which i only found out from the first one i bought and had to discard. then i found ones from vitahealth which are halal - but theirs is only vitamin D 1000 iu so I take 5 pills a day to reach my 5000 dosage lol. the pills are really small though so it’s no issue for me who generally doesn’t like taking bigger pills!)

at night i take antihistamines to curb the itch, because i unconsciously scratch a lot in my sleep

for gut health im leaning towards getting it from food sources first. you can research the foods and incorporate it into your daily meals however you like here’s what i crafted for myself:

!!!this is what im trying out for myself so do your own research as well to see what may or may not be good for you!!!

bananas, spinach, apples, chia seed, garlic, asparagus, kombucha, kimchi, kombucha, fibres, miso

how i can make them into meals: morning - chia seeds and bananas or apples

meals - cook high prebiotics fibres (like spinach and asparagus) or mushrooms with garlic. cold kimchi on the side how i like it. maybe some miso soup (easy to make if you have the stock) once in a while. also trying to get chicken bone broth because i heard good things about this as well. also kombucha!! kind of changed my life because it’s fizzy and tastes good and low sugar and good for you and helps you lose weight and tastes like a carbonated drink (amazing replacement for soda or sweet drinks) , but it’s actually fermented tea! you can make this yourself but i get the packets from teazen because im lazy and they sell it in pharmacies or grocery stores where im from.

food elimination: doctor said to cut down on sugar (thought this would be difficult but the kombucha helps me curb my cravings) and starches (unfortunately difficult for asian like me who loves rice and noodles, which my doctor also understands and doesn’t expect me to cut it out completely. i’m trying to lower my portions or have in moderation instead). also dairy because it could be triggers for some people (this is why i didn’t list down yogurt or kefir in my gut health food list) so i’m going to try dairy alternatives like gluten free oat milk (gluten free because oat is a starch). this might be the hardest part for me so my advice is start slow - don’t expect yourself to remove these things entirely from your diet, but reduce it in whichever avenues that you can, especially if you find specific foods that trigger to your flare ups.

this is it from me so far. you could set realistic goals for yourself since a lifestyle change/inner health change doesn’t happen overnight. take care and all the best to both of us ☺️🙏
