I have tried and successfully eliminated inflammation with strict dietary restrictions though it seemed rather clear to me that there was a lot more going on than just a reaction to starch and dairy. These restrictions are just the tip of the iceberg for many people who have tried the diet. Therefore, it would seem the whole thing is much more complicated than just targeting a single bacteria. So I encourage anyone with this disease to consider the diet as it has worked for me in the past but I also understand if they struggle or ultimately fail to maintain it. The whole thing can become overwhelming and impractical for many people who just want to live normal lives again. I was miserable with our without the diet, for different reasons. The fact is we don't have an option to live normal lives so more research must be done.
Food isn't the enemy, our faulty genes are.
