Just a thought: You are describing what pretty much sounds "classical" for GI mediated (?food etc) allergy. This allergy can be triggered not just by offending foods but some SPICES and PRESERVATIVES... an "elimination " diet program may be worthwhile. I assume you have had an immunology/allergy consultation...check this out. Just a thought...hope it's helpful! Dr Z

It’s difficult: Sometimes it’s difficult to determine the cause of illness. It can be frustrating because there’s a assumption that Drs can take a history, physical and order tests, and then the answer is clear. In reality, our health is a complex interaction of the mind, body, and environment - even our body’s microbiome plays a role! Your symptoms sound allergic in nature, so consulting an allergist might help
