Nah, we don't frown on "hello" posts here.  Welcome! Sorry to hear you're feeling so awful, but glad you found us just the same.
I found myself going "uh-huh!" through a lot of your introduction. I've had an increasing number of food sensitivities popping up too. The list of foods I can *always* safely eat is alarmingly small. (Pasta, crackers, chicken, bread, peas, carrots, broth, Honeycomb cereal... that's about it.) I've done the avoiding-food and eat-nothing-but-crackers things too, for way too long, and I'm actually working really hard to get past that and eat balanced meals again. But anyway, this isn't about me... just wanted you to know you're far from alone.
As for your questions... I spend a lot of time convincing myself that it's NOT as bad as it seems, and that there IS hope. There are a lot of people here on these boards who have either stabilized completely (and got their lives back!) or who are in the process, seeing great improvements, feeling a lot better, and on their way to stabilizing. I think the diet works. I've been on it myself for a little while, and I've definitely seen some improvement, although I still have a long way to go... it takes time, for sure. But you WILL feel better!
Glad to hear you're seeing doctors and having the necessary tests... good luck with all of those!
Anyway, welcome again, and if you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask!
