I have been on the NSD for 2 months now. I had a bit of a slip 1 month ago with some potatoes but I am back on track. I do not know how much different I am feeling. The Doctor put me on 75 mg of Cataflam (Diclofenac) twice a day. That is helping more than anything. If I take 2 a day I feel great, but I am trying to take one a day to have a better judge of how the diet is doing.
I had Iritis issues which caused me to freak out and get motivated to start this NSD thang. The Iritis was my biggest fear and that has gone away but I treated it pretty aggressively with Pred Forte. So I do not know if it was the diet or the drugs. I have stopped taking the drugs and the eye is better, but the Rhummy (and the Optimologist) told me that I may or may not have anymore Eye issues. Great! Thanks Doc, what a wealth of info!
Seeing the impact that diet has on my son, I know instinctively that diet can do it. It is just finding the right balance of things to get it right.
The problem is I do not know if I see it. I just do not think I am feeling all that much better. I am thinking of keeping track of my pain levels through out the day and then starting to experiment again.
The main problem is I am eating as much as I can, but I am still loosing weight. I am under 150 again and my pants are starting to fall off again.
My day consists of:
2 eggs omelet with - pepper onion and mushroom.
Fruit salad
Maybe a Cherry Larabar - (Dates Almonds Cherries)
Walnuts and Raisins
Grilled Meat for lunch - (Chicken, Beef or Pork)
Veggies - Asparagus or Broccoli or Cauliflower
Grapefruit
An Apple
Salad, Veggie and Grilled Meat for Lunch.
I am a hawk for labels and whole foods. My son has been on Specific Carbohydrate Diet for 2 years so I am used to watching for hidden stuff. I have Iodine and checking foods and supplements.
I went through a digestive detox – Oxy Powder. My wife got it for herself and then decided not to do it so I figured what the heck.
Any thoughts?
