    I’m currently on a gluten free diet and doing a strict Anti-Candida diet. I noticed I haven’t had a flare up of my connective tissue disease in almost one month whereas before I was flaring up constantly and for weeks and months at a time! Should I temporarily go back to eating gluten which I think is the major culprit in addition to overgrowth of Candida and Aspergillosis. Gut permeability is very leaky. I want to get an ANA test done but can results be obscured if I’ve gotten myself into remission from my dietary changes? I’m thinking I should back to eating everything I was eating before when my flare ups where making me soooooo sick i could barely breath and get out of bed. Any suggestions??

      If they say, IDK or gaslight you, or do nothing except tell you to schedule a follow up…IMHO move on and don’t waste your precious time. I’ve got a complicated case and as a result I had to see a few dozen doctors, definitely +20, before getting good doctors.
      Unfortunately, the mediocre doctors wasted so much of my time (8 years of actively seeking help) and money (thousands $$) that by the time treatment began I was in debt , already wheelchair bound and I’m going blind. I have so much anger because the medical system is not patient centered and works against us, and slowed down my access to care or under diagnose and under treat. This made my outcome poor, the damage is done. I’m pissed.
      I have a fantastic team of doctors now… but I won’t get back the faculties I’ve lost.
      You deserve the best.
