Summary

In late 2020, he reported ongoing stomach cramps and body aches. Cutting out dairy, sugar and processed meats, eating more vegetables, soups and ginger tea eased his bloating and stomach issues, while a diclofenac-naproxen arnica ointment from Mexico helped his aches, pains and inflammation. He was slowly regaining his healthy weight and kept a food diary to find trigger foods.
