Have you tried a low-carb diet before, out of curiousity?

I ask because what you described as symptoms mirror many of mine (but mine were not nearly as severe). I found that prior to modifying my diet I'd have "random" flare-ups that I could not attribute to anything environmental -- or so I thought.

I started a ketosis diet for weight-related reasons, but quickly found out that the skin issues I'd been experiencing abruptly ceased.

My hypothesis is that I have a specific sensitivity to a modern wheat strain. I'm not sure which one it is yet, but that's going to be my goal over the next year.

My experience is my own, so I don't want to give hope if my situation is different, but the diet change is doable for a short period of time to test a hypothesis.

Shoot me a note if you want to discuss further. My contact info is in my profile.
