Welcome home Robin H!
Good luck with the diet. Hopefully things will calm down and you can focus on staying on the wagon. I can definitely relate to hard it is.
For what it's worth, I don't actually have any issues with sugar, only starch. If you're having trouble avoiding both you might try focusing just on the starch, at least at first. I find my sweet foods help me stick to the harder parts of the diet.
Suspected USpA. HLA B27, xray, u/sound, blood tests all -ve. Ancient history of plantar fasciitis, SI joint pain, knee arthritis. Recent history of tendinitis, neck pain, debilitating finger pain and stiffness (especially mornings). No diagnosis, no meds.
