Good job: so far. Generally for situations like this I recommend GLUTEN/DAIRY/SOY free diet. For 2 weeks, only soft-cooked foods, no salads, even fruit must be cooked, nothing cold or spicy, primarily vegan. These are general thoughts that may help some. You do need professional guidance.

I am concerned: My first concern would be to rule out ulcerative colitis with sclerosing cholangitis. You need to be under the care of a competent physician who can advise you, with more information than you have shared, whether endoscopy and/or liver biopsy is indicated.
