I think in helping your mom understand this diet, not only have her check out the current kickas forms, but have her do back searches. This site has been around for about ten years and has helped tons of people. A lot of people get helped and then do not use the site as often anymore. I spent a lot of time researching this site and others and found a crazy amount of people who have been helped. I even contacted a good number of them. The twenty-thirty people who are posting right now are in the more active phase of the diet.... look back a year, two years, four, seven.... and you will find a different crowd of people, many of whom have found their solution. (and many who do not need to be as strict after years of healing)
I am a firm believer that this diet CAN work for anyone, some people just need to pinpoint more triggers and some people need more time to heal before they notice a marked improvement. I was a slow healer, but I kept my eyes on the prize and am incredibly happy now.
Also, you may want your mom to actively ask questions online for us to address. We want to make her feel comfortable.
Good luck,
Stacey
