Your mental fog, fatique etc sounds very similar. If it is you will need to push your dr to send you to a specialist for diagnosis.
The reason it might be the same time of day is the spoon story describes. You have a cup with 6 spoons in it. This represents the amount of energy you have each day to use. For each thing you do in the day you use a spoon (energy) and if you go over the amount you have then you will pay the price with your condition getting worse. The fatigue kicking in, brain fog etc. If you use too much on too many days you will notice you will get worse and will be more likely to catch infections and viruses. The longer it goes on where you use to much the worse it can get. I was told by drs for years I was unfit and pushed myself to do more and more until I was nearly bed ridden.
If you've had it up to 4 years there is still a chance you will recover. If you have had it over that length you are more likely to suffer for it for life. You can go into remission but it can come back at anytime. i've had it for 10 years now.

stimulants like caffeine and alcohol or dairy make it worse.
Maybe magnesium to settle things down

one really easy thing to reduce gas is walking as u walk gas will escape cos it's moving as your moving keep taking the probiotics cos it fills u with good bacteria that will reduce gas production plus as i said try butter milk after dinner or yogurt and try the type that says has probiotics in them and hopefully you'll be able to manage

butter milk just buy it from the supermatket and drink half a cup just a small size cup before sleep (incase u couldn't tolerate it u can leave it ) cos each respond differently but the cataflam is really good and yeah you can get it over the counter its an antiinflammatory and an antispasmodic at the same time
