Glad you're getting it checked out - hope it resolves quickly. It sounds super painful (and even localized infections can sometimes make me feel pretty sick systemically).

@Catrin, what I mean when I say eating clean is partly general things like mostly unprocessed fruits and vegetables, leaning toward raw; minimal amounts of acid-forming foods like grains and meat; everything organic and pasture-raised or wild caught/wildcrafted; no highly processed foods at all, which includes traditional foods like bread, cheese, tempeh, alcohol, etc. - and partly things that are specific to the individual, avoiding anything you might be allergic or sensitive to (dairy for most people but not necessarily everyone, gluten for many, soy and various grains for some, a whole list of things for me ).
