I was diagnosed with LC this past April. Since the onset of my symptoms (March 2020), I've been struggling with dysautonomia. Most of the time, the problem is that I get up too fast, then my vision goes black, I lose sense of sound, and I have to lean against something to keep from falling down. A couple of times, I have fallen, but that hasn't happened since my diagnosis and changing my diet. But the black vision and loss of sound continues.
So here's a little history.
I went gluten free 10 years ago. Not officially celiac, but my grandmother was. The doctor I had at the time was an idiot.
I very quickly discovered that I"m extremely sensitive to gluten and have been known to react to cracker DUST.3 years ago I started eating keto because I was picking up colds and flus faster than anyone I knew. It was FABULOUS!
I was in the best health of my life. It cured my severe allergies, helped me lose weight, and I stopped getting sick all the time. My son (who wouldn't give up sugar) was hospitalized for severe flu for 2 nights. I stayed with him the whole time and didn't get so much as a runny nose.But then I got Covid, and keto was no longer helping me.
I spent months not understanding why I wasn't recovering. My case was "mild", in that I didn't have to go to the hospital. But it was a brutal experience nonetheless. I went to a Post Covid Care Clinic in Denver where I spent a week seeing multiple doctors and having ALL sorts of tests done. My primary doctor there was a gastroenterologist since my chief complaint was chronic diarrhea. He did the multiple biopsies and found LC. He strongly believes that Covid triggered it. He put me on 8 weeks of budesonide and told me to talk to my PCP about changing my diet. My PCP is a keto advocate, so I was already in the hands of a doctor who knows that diet matters.
But he pointed me to AIP and looking at the food list, I saw things that I already figured out that I react to. So I looked into carnivore instead.
I've been eating carnivore (minus eggs, dairy, and chicken) for 3 months. Also no coffee or tea.
It's definitely helping. I've been having BMs that are "almost normal". The only time I have D follows stress. Even mild stress sets me off. That said, I tried a raw, unripe banana the other day because I can no longer make keto versions of the summer treats my family has been enjoying. BIG MISTAKE! 
Except for the banana, I've switched to a lion diet (only ruminant meats) for the past 3 weeks. I'm hoping it will help me not have D when stressed. I make every effort to eat organ meats (when I can find them). My meats are all fully grassfed and finished. The organ meats I can find are liver (which I try to eat twice a week), heart, and tongue. I also eat oxtail, osso buco, chuck roast, ground lamb, and ground bison. I eat ALL parts including cartilage. Basically the only things I throw out are bones and skin (from the tongue). I make home made bone broth and the left over bits that fall off the bone go into my ground meat when I cook it.
So all this to say (sorry for the length), the research I've done on carnivore says that I should be getting all the nutrients I need, but this is for the general public. Is there a nutrient I'm missing more of by having LC?
Though I'd rather sit in the sun than take a supplement with additives in it. I'll have to keep my eye out for a good vit D supplement.
This one was still on the green side, so yes, definitely not ripe. It didn't satisfy the way a nice serving of berries with heavy cream would have. I might try some cold coconut cream over the Thanksgiving holiday. But I'm hesitant on plants in general because of the studies cited in this video by Dr. Ken Berry.
