Hi Peter,
John gave you some links in his first response to you that you can click on to discover this "NSD" that we are all referring to.
I too, thought it was "hocus-pokus" in the beginning, but after reading about Dr. Ebringer's research and theory, it really is logical. If you're the web research type, try typing "Molecular Mimicry" into your internet search field and read about it a little. You'll discover how a no-starch diet (NSD) effects us.
In the beginning I tried it for a couple weeks and gave up (I wanted immediate relief!). Now, after following the progress of the folks on the NSD forum, I am giving it a serious try. I am now willing to "go the long haul." I have a very disinterested rheumy, so this is really my only option for trying to really effect my health. Besides, IT HAS WORKED for folks that were really serious about sticking to it and willing to try it for an extended amount of time!
Come visit us on the NSD forum and hear our successes, struggles, questions, etc... You'll never know until you try!!
Here's hoping,
Sharon
