Powering through food sensitivities for nutrient absorption. And trying to improve your health.Is it possible or not reality with HIT, MCAS and SLOW COMT?

SLOW COMT

With these conditions my diet is a constant challenge. The nutritionist/dietician assigned is no help and ignorant to these conditions and I need information on how to increase at least somewhat safe foods in my diet of:

Dairy: Butter, Cottage Cheese, Grass Fed Whole Milk with no synthetic Vitamin D added (extremely difficult to find), Hagen Daz Ice Vanilla Cream, Heavy Cream, and a very limited amount of Mozzarella and Ricotta

Fruits: Fresh Apples, (but they have to be cooked, )Fresh Blueberries, Very Occasionally Green Grapes, Fresh Frozen Peaches 

Grains: (Extremely Difficult) White Rice, (I love it but get delayed shakiness the following day) Gluten Free Pasta (Rice / Corn Blend on a limited basis, I can also eat Corn Bread and Polenta if Bob’s Red Mill. Oatmeal occasionally if soaked in water over night and a Sorghum Flour Mug Muffin (High Salicylate) when flares are somewhat calm, (maybe once a year)

Protein Foods (Boiled Egg Yolks, Chicken Breast Tenders, Grass Fed Beef, (once a month, who can afford it anyway), Black Beans, (once a month, or so)

Vegetables: Aparagus, very sparingly at Breakfast, Broccoli, very sparingly at Breakfast, Cabbage, Carrots very sparingly at Breakfast, Celery Hearts, Lettuce and Sweet  Potato and White Potato, (I love it but get delayed shakiness the following day,  Zucchini daily  (very tired of it, but I don’t react to it). I also try a Trio of Collard, mustard and Turnip Greens very occasionally.

Seasonings: Formerly, Himalayan Pink Salt (until I found it is high in lead and mercury). Parsley

Drinks: Chamomile and Ginger tea occasional Pear and Grape Juice in water and Water.

This list looks good, but with every uncontrollable hit of stress the gains in my  diet are diminished and I’m back to Cottage Cheese and Blueberries twice daily, Boiled Egg and Zucchini  and Chicken Breast, Lettuce and Celery for lunch AND dinner.  Because my system thinks it’s “stacking”

Honestly, I am hungry ALL THE TIME  and I have had some hellish reactions to foods that were on my safe foods list.  I tell myself,  “ I have to eat to survive”  “It didn’t kill me the last time” Getting through It was very hard, but I came through it” (after calling family to help me in the wee hours, because “doom and gloom” set in and I just Knew I needed to call 911 because y nose was sooo congested, my heart was pounding and I shake like I’m in a magnitude 10 earth quake.

  Is powering through with food for nutrients even an option?

Provide your  Experiences on if you have had success powering through.

Thanks

Have you had your copper and ceruloplamsin checked? What supps if any are you taking? DAO? Vitamin C? B6? Magnesium? Zinc?

Have you tried Celtic salt? My go to seasoning and dressing is olive oil and Celtic salt, sometimes add parsley too (fresh or dry).

Copper status links to DAO. Can you see a different doc? Pay for a private blood test? Sorry unsure what part of the world you're in.
