i'd see a nutritionist. there is some promising work with gut biome, inflamation, processed sugar/carbs, ketogenic diet, etc. might take some serious research to find the right info.

Most of this research falls under the gut-brain axis and is only in its infancy. Therefore if you find several promising dietary studies, give each one a try over several weeks and keep a journal about key behavioral differences.

Full disclaimer, I am not a medical doctor but am finishing a Ph.D. studying microbial ecology. The field is pretty much the Wild West, and you should take many of the studies you'll find with a grain of salt. I think there is a lot of merit in prebiotic/probiotic treatments, however, bacteria on a species level are as different from one another as mammals are on a family level.
