Hi Chelsea,
I absolutely think that people should try this diet. (I don't think Winnie was referring to you in the bully part). I totally think people should encourage people to try what has worked for them as well as other approaches. If people find they can drop meds due to positive effects from the NSD that is wonderful! However, not everyone will benefit in my opinion as I do not believe that NSD is going to be the answer for everyone and I think what JCwinnie and I were getting at is that sometimes people tend to relay the NSD approach as THE approach that will work for everyone. I still believe that for some starch may be the trigger and for others eliminating other sources of agitation to the body (sugar, or dairy) may result in a better result or none at all. All I meant is that every individual is different and I have doubts that NSD would work for everyone. Also, I see your point that many people choose not to try the diet in full for many reasons. But there is not much anyone can do about that as people have to decide for themselves to try something or not. And it is hard to give up "comfort" foods or make radical changes in diet (as is evident with the obesity epidemic in our country).
Keep encouraging others to try what has helped for your husband! I only meant that not all will see those same positive results no matter how hard they try to do the diet correctly , in my opinion.
Take care
