Have you tried protein drinks, smoothies or milk shakes with healthy fats, protein, organic fruits/veggies? Have you tried taking a probiotic to help your gut recover some healthy bacteria? You may want to look up building back up your microbiome in your gastrointestinal system.

This is interesting- I looked up the super greens drink you suggested because I think I would benefit from it and it contains guarantee gum, which some places say you should avoid if you have digestive issues!! ???Frustrating!!!

This might sound silly but I'm getting borderline emotional with all of these helpful suggestions that I've been begging the doctors for 2 years about. Thank you so much for all your time and insight on this! I'm excited that there are more outlets for me to inquire; they way medical professionals were speaking to me, made it sound like I was coming to an end on finding a solution.
I used to love salads and these little probiotic yogurts (I forget what they're called), but I noticed how much burning I'd feel from lettuces and spinach. I even found tons of discomfort in apples- that was my favorite snack with peanut butter. I found I can only eat a limited amount of fruits and veggies. I haven't tried milk shakes with healthy fats though!
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to find all these links for me and list tons of different approaches!
