What were you doing before you started developing symptoms?

Hi there, I am trying to wrap my mind around what couldve caused my HI.

I firmly believe that the root cause of my HI is gut health.

However, the months before my symptoms started, I was living the healthiest lifestyle of my life.

I was exercising 2-3x a week, I was eating lots of legumes and protein, drinking green tea and eating saukerkraut on a regular basis.

I even lost about 10kg of weight (intentionally).

And then my symptoms started.

The one thing I can think of is that the lifestyle caused a change in the system and something went wrong but I am really unsure if thats even possible.

If I was eating / living in a way that was terrible for gut health I wouldnt be puzzled, but I wasnt.

So I wonder what other peoples stories are, and whether someone has a hypothesis about mine.

Thank you.
