Just stay calm; nothing lasts forever, this too shall pass. Just breathe. So, hmm, have you actually done a food intolerance test? Because there are people who skip gluten just because it's trendy, but then there are those who do it because they're actually sick. It’s totally possible gluten is the culprit for you, too, because look—if the doctors can't find anything, then it's either psychological or your body simply doesn't handle standard food well. Actually, gluten breaks down in the small intestine just like lactose does. For instance, I can't handle lactose; forgive me if I drink some whey today (that liquid you get when making homemade cheese), I know I'll be dealing with diarrhea for five days straight. And if I have sweet milk, my stomach swells up like a basketball... Seriously, start looking at your diet. Try eating gluten-free for 10-15 days; if things don't improve, try cutting out lactose instead. Doctors often miss these issues because all the tests they scream for (gastro and endo) are done on an empty stomach. Don't worry, if nothing else, just eat healthy—these days, if you didn't make it yourself, it probably isn't healthy. Truly. And just let me tell you, every illness starts in the brain; don't kid yourself thinking it isn't partly psychological (I'm not saying it is, but the brain works that way...). You aren't some medical anomaly; there's no such thing as a disease without a description, and you've got stress piled on top of everything else. Listen to me, try adjusting your diet since you already mentioned you struggle to digest a lot of things. Did they rule out COVID? Try buying yourself a good probiotic; for me, Florastor by Dr. Wolz from Germany is top-tier. Maybe try seeing a gastroenterologist privately. And just stay calm, seriously, just stay calm. Even though I see celiac was ruled out, just try going gluten-free again; it won't cost you anything.
