Background: I was raised on a diabetic style diet since my grandmother was diabetic. She made all meals compliant with what she had to follow: so no fat, no salt, no sugar. I stayed relatively healthy per FDA standards in my meals even after I moved out of her house. I went no red meat, no fat, atkins, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, anorexic, ketogenic, liquid, calorie restriction, calorie increase; you name it, I've tried it. I've maintained 180+ since I've been 8 years old.
Around 2007 I had a health crisis where I was randomly allergic to it seemed everything. I had not known about AIP at the time, but I intuitively did an elimination style diet where if I had a reaction to something I stopped eating it. Then I started research into what was causing me to be allergic to everything while following some hacked together lifestyle that went around my allergens.
By 2008 I found the blood type diet and found some things that made sense and during one of my ER trips one of the nurses told me how I resembled his mother who had Lupus. I started to look into autoimmune and found much more information that started to make pieces fall into place. I tried the B.E.D. with zero success, it put me in the hospital in under a week and even the ER told me to drop the diet quickly. In 2009 fell into a strict AIP and GAPS mix to heal my gut, found no change in inflammation, weight, how I felt, or ability to reintroduce foods after several years. In 2014 relaxed back into the original paleo style diet I worked out for myself. I did the calculations for Weight Watchers and I even did a calorie tracker using My Fitness Pal: via both I'm well under what I should be so I should be losing all kinds of weight.... but I'm not and haven't been. My calories are 0-800 on a normal day, 800-1200 on a binge day that I do before my cycle, my cycle tends to make me fast for a few days.
While I do this as much as I can, when the budget gets tight I will be prone to, like many who are poorer, have to resort to ramen noodles or other 99 cent store purchase with a side shot of benadryl.

Tracking symptoms, labs, and other issues pertinent to finding diagnosis of the chronic illnesses that I've been thriving through in my life. There is some comic relief to rid the tensions with the medical industry at large.
