Can't ingest food: rare gut condition impacting ability to eat anything

Thank you all for your help so far. My brother could not afford to eat any kind of food at all without the help you gave in these last few months. He never imagined he would have this level of support.

He had a severe reaction to a meal a few weeks ago which made him very unwell for a few weeks although he is now better. More importantly, he has no specialist at the moment because the one assigned by the government cannot deal with this complex case. His GP is trying to get the govt to assign him a different specialist.

We are afraid of needing to go private. A big issue as this would mean he can't use the money for fermented drinks as long.

This is the update - otherwise, there is nothing new. He is just doing what he needs to do, every day is taken up by arranging every meal and little else.

Thank you!
