Welcome to Unchained Caleb, where I talk about living the lifestyle of the Alpha Male 2.0 and the Unchained CEO as covered in my primary book, The Unchained Man, which has sold over 150,000 copies.
Had the same discovery a few years back. Decided to nuke the site from orbit and switch to the carnivore diet. All of my digestive/autoimmune problems have gone away and, crazy enough, the bald spot on my head is growing its hair back (seriously, wtf).
I periodically test new foods (e.g. I've found avocados are fine), but for the most part I'm all carnivore.
One other interesting note is that the food intolerance tests I had done in Dubai confirmed all of the foods that I'd determined were giving me issues.
Food and its effects on the body are complicated. Finding the right diet is difficult, no doubt. I wish you good luck and good advice.
Wheat causes leaky gut in many people (some say "in almost everybody"). Seed oils can also be a cause; avoid "foods" high in linoleic acid (which is difficult, as it's in almost everything these days, including most commercial chicken fat and pork fat).
What is your primary source of fats now? I hope you have not been advised to "avoid saturated fats." That advice makes good health nearly impossible. I suggest lots of ruminant meat (beef, lamb--but not liver). Given the severity of your event, it might be a good experiment to try a carnivore diet as several other posters suggested, at least as a short-term elimination diet to see what happens. (But again, don't listen to liver bros. Good way to get copper and iron toxicity.)
May I ask, which of the tests you did were most useful?

Why don't you take the GLP-1 products for weight loss?
Because he's not a moron.
Thank you for this comprehensive update. I hope that plan works and you get better soon. Digestive issues are no joke.
It's time you went 100% carnivore. Commit to at least two weeks. Don't cheat. Don't make excuses. Report back in a month.
+ any kind of meat, beef, lamb, bison, chicken, pork, seafood, eggs
+ water
+ salt
- no carb or sugar of any kind
- zero veg
- no cheese
- no coffee, tea, drinks other than water
- no spices other than salt
You'll have a few days of transition that may be uncomfortable and after that you will feel fucking amazing.
