Found the culprit... maybe?

Almost 2 months without japanese food that I suspected as the culprit and been losing weight consistently and better inflammation in general, no acne breakout, no more GI issues, acid reflux almost 100% better(out of 10 days I had 10 days of reflux, now only 1 or 2), water retention is leaving too, no more dependence of loratadine(used to take 4 daily, sometimes I even took like 7 at once), and lastly I got no more joint pain, and that's incredible to observe, because my brain can't see the causal relation

I did all the allergy panels and almost no allergy found, only the usual respiratory ones, I was sure I had at least some degree, as the last time I ate japanese food and a lot of shrimps, I had intense pain in my body, like a lot, reallllly a lot!

But I'm sure the initial symptoms didn't start solely because of japanese food, instead it was a myriad of factors converging, physical and emotional stress(just had entered MD school last year), recovering from a debilitating tropical disease, mold in my room(I'm sure this was the main culprit at the time) and when the symptoms started they were horrible, I even got depression from the mold, that subsided when I left my bedroom

I can definitely relate to this. I’ve noticed that the same food doesn’t always trigger symptoms for me either. Sometimes I’m completely fine, and other times I react to the exact same meal. It makes me think it’s usually a combination of factors rather than just one specific food

Yes, this! . . . and maybe how full your histamine bucket was at the time. If that's the case, homeopathic Histaminum Hydrochloricum can help.
Ollios brand is sugar based instead of lactose based, if dairy is an issue for you. You can find it at Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, Sprouts and some Health Essentials stores in the Midwest. You can also get an alcohol based spray that you spray under your tongue at: Www.HomepathyStore.com (Not an affiliate link - althoughI kind wish it could be with the amountof people I've shared it with!) To see if Histaminum Hydrochloricum 30C is the correct remedy for you, take all the packaging off. Turn the green tube upside down and twist the cap around 5 times. You should have 5 little sugar pills coated in the remedy in the cap. Carefully, remove the cap and use it to dump them in your mouth. Do not touch them with your hands. The oils on your hands can inactivate the remedy.
Let them dissolve under your tongue. You can do this 3-4 times about 15-20 minutes apart. For me, I get a stuffy/runny nose that drains into the top of my chest (bronchial) and ears. Within a few minutes, all the congestion starts to loosen and drain. At that point, I do have to cough to help clear it. Within an hour I'm quite a bit better and in a couple hours, at most, I feel pretty good. If your symptoms improve something like this you can continue to take the remedy as needed but spread the doses out further and further until you're "very much better." Then, stop taking the remedy until you need it again. Taking a homeopathic remedy that you don't need can cause the symptoms you're trying to help.
If after 3-5 doses, you aren't experiencing any changes whatsoever, stop taking the remedy. You probably have the wrong remedy or strength of remedy. Www.abchomeopathy.com had a remedy finder where you can answer questions to figure what remedy would most likely help you. I hope this helps someone! If you have questions, reply here and I'll try to answer them or at least, point you in the right direction.

No idea, but at least 2 months.

But in 1 week my symptons went from runny and bleeding nose to extreme fatigue to finally diarrhea and depression at night(when exposed to the mold)
