Gluten & Nightshades Food Sensitivity

With celiac, I have to completely exclude gluten. Going GF is 20 ppm and less. People with advanced celiac are frequently dairy intolerant, but can consume dairy once their gut has healed. I limit some foods/meds due to sensitivity to their sugars, proteins, and/or preservatives. With collagenous colitis I can eat most foods, but high FODMAP ones are only nibbled. Elimination diets to check food sensitivities are useful, particularly if one has a nutritionist that is conversant in autoimmune or other diseases.

Your disease is so complicated. My initial reply was a bit too glib. My concern was that you not go without certain foods, but instead reduce amounts to a level where you would not find them troublesome; and keeping some sort of record as you worked trial and error. My wife has aplastic anemia, incurable, but we are even more convinced than we were before we discovered the disease that fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and small amounts of fish & meat - all organic - is our best way forward as we pass the 85 year mark.
