Thank you Carol and Feet,
You both had great info. I didn't realize about the tannen Carol. Feet you filled in all the gaps. So I don't think I'm gonna get you to back off the nightshades, and I'm not gonna eat any worms, or other people....LOL!

So I'm trying to get back into my Woe and I am thinking my gut is on the mend with the 16/8 IF and my elimination diet. Vacation took it's toll, but not as bad as usual. I actually crammed a bunch of carbs in my mouth on the last day, and felt ok the next. But bread is still out for me now. But I've reintroduced eggs, a little cheese, nuts and still no nightshades or artificial sweetners. I have heard cooked nightshades have less of the effect on people allergic to them, but I have a suspicion this is the bad food for me.

I do miss Pizza!

My conclusion!

I gave up artificial sweetners and have been feeling great! The only other thing I gave up is night shades. so possible one or both of those things were affecting me. Maybe autoimmune symptoms are helped by giving these things up,,,one or both. It's worth a try....

History,,,,I've been a diet coke drinker since it came out.

I do not have coke for the same reason.
