Hi Sherri,
Do not be afraid to ask questions concerning diet... I asked so many years ago now when I started and thankful for all those that helped me along. Can be a bit frustrating and overwhelming knowing what to eat and what not to eat... but you have the rest of your life ahead of you and this is not a quiz with only one right answer.
Hopefully with cutting out the starches your pain will gradually improve, it may take some time.
Best to you,
Tim
