Everything at the doctor seems to come up normal though. We looked at perhaps seeing a Functional Doctor although now have discovered that is $$$$$ (tests alone are up to $10,000). So she wants to do the AIP (autoimmune protocol) diet which is basically a restrictive paleo diet. Im onboard as I would like to try lowfodmap/paleo anyway. I think biggest change for me would be no alcohol/no sugar. Regardless we start next week, preparing for it this weekend.
Good luck.
The brofessors in the bodybuilding world call it an elimination diet.
Do one ingredient meals at a time to see what affects you.
Eg: breakfast 5 eggs, nothing else. Tomorrow just oats
Lunch chicken breast, tomorrow chicken breast and carrots
Dinner salmon, tomorrow salmon and broccoli.
Keep going like that until You get a list of foods that work. Then you can mix and match more.
Keep meals 5-6 hours apart. If you don’t and say have a snack of raisins 2 hours after lunch, you don’t know which food affected you.
First three-four days will be hard, gets easier as more food is available.
Edit: NO SPICES or condiments. Those are ingredients, add them in one at a time to foods that work.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
