Just picked up by this comment in your post that you may expect the docs to be aware of the dietary modifications discussed on this website. They are not aware or do not believe in it for probably a number of reasons. But don't let that keep you from experimenting with it yourself. I personally am on a gluten free diet (no wheat,barley, oats or rye... all food lables have to be inspected for wheat based ingredients) and I have gotten much relief from this diet. Others are trying no starch or low starch diets with success. Dietary modifications are hard, but when they are the key to pain relief (for some of us anyway) it's totally worth it!
