I'm so glad to hear things have settled!
That's really given you a good measuring stick though. You knew the dairy was connected, but this latest reaction has really given the final proof.
Now my advice for this respite - think of how you can make the most of every day and night!
That doesn't mean, can you party wildly, but how many things 'just for you to recharge' can you fit into that time?
That could focus around food, massage, exercise/outings, sleep opportunities, movies, seeing people, being alone.
Whatever your needs, see how much you can think about meeting them while you have this important time.
I cannot even slightly begin to imagine having been a CALS for that long - you truly deserve this time to recharge.
