I'm glad you're doing well, Alinus.
For myself, I have far too many dietary restrictions already. One I forgot to mention is low protein because I've had bouts of proteinurea and nephritis. It gets depressing. Just shoot me now if more are insisted upon. I can't even go out to eat with friends a lot of the time, unless they've chosen a restaurant with a large and versatile menu.
Quality of life is important to me. I've adapted to my new normal fairly well but removing bread, rice, pasta, etc. from my diet would make things overly difficult, more depressing, and socially isolating.
you're right, NSD involves lots of proteins and it will probably make your life even harder.
But i do not agree with the social isolation - i am having no problems with this. If i get out somewhere and i know i will not find what food i need, i just eat at home and just have a drink there. I just pop up a bag of almonds or chashews not to make them feel bad that they eat and i'm not.
True, it happened one time that we had to change 3 pubs because none had lager beer, the only one i can drink without issues
anyway, everybody has his own limits and his own definition of "quality of life". And i agree with you that we must protect what makes us feel better.
