At least I don't go down the anaphylaxis route. Unless the picture changes I won't have starvation issues, malnutrition is definitely an issue. I'm sure it's going to end up having to go with immune suppression (and I have every reason to suspect that's only going to be a temporary solution) but so far I've been able to avoid that.

Never tried the psych stuff. One doctor suggested it but it felt very much like they were pretending it had off-label relevance--but he ignored my saying capsules, not tablets. Sorry, you're not thinking about it and I'm not taking psych stuff without the doctors considering it carefully. And tablets that can't be cold-turkeied are a hard no for me. (I'm going to go sensitive to the tablet binder at some point. If I go sensitive to a capsule I can at least break it open.)

Nobody's suggested the stool testing, is that something new? I'm pretty sure gut flora play a role but I don't have details. (E-mail in my profile.)

GDX stool testing was something recommended by an integrative dual resident at ucsd for me.

I think if you disturb the flora and lining too badly the normal tolerance mechanism with Tregs breaks down. That’s my theory anyway.
