The more a person with AI issues takes, the worse their symptoms gradually appear, forcing them to take more and more. Then, they might get skin lesions or rashes on the body from them, which is confused with other skin ailments and they start to get treated for a skin condition they don't have.
I know a few people with gluten and AI issues, and they've found relief staying away from NSAIDS, gluten and went paleo. Their body's auto-immune systems are so inflamed, they need to break regular stuff for a year. My two sisters, and other in-laws have these issues. I've become good at identifying the flareups that I spotted it in a teacher at my kid's school. She underwent surgery and was taking thousands of IUs of ibuprofen daily, after surgery and that tripped her AI where she developed lichen planus. She suffered for almost a year, and had open sores on her arms and neck. She went to multiple dermatologists who were treating it for other things, meanwhile, she was taking IB daily. It took her a year of completely cutting NSAIDS for it to clear up. One dose would trip it all over again.
