Hello,
I have been on the no-starch/maybe low starch diet for about a month. I started with the apple diet and have been taking tetracycline too. The fast made me flare but the NSD is making things gradually better, although it might be just the placebo effect and my will to get better. But still, like what'shisname just said, it's almost as if I can feel food flaring me within a few hours.
Peppers seem to be one of the worst flare foods. Have you tried eliminating nightshades? Has anyone else tried that? Oh, and too much sugar seems bad. And I've given up milk for the time being, as well as yoghurt. Raisins, nuts, tunafish, eggs, vegetables and fruit, I feel, are all essential. I'm not sure really what effect if any the antibiotics are having. I just figured I would give them a try. Also, since starting the NSD, I am taking one less NSAID every day, but I'm still having to take 2 voltarol every day, though I don't need them to sleep anymore. One day when I get my own computer, I'll log on to this site for real.
Tom
