I have been doing the NSD for almost a month now (Thursday will be a month) and I have to say I am reacting well to it although I'm kind of worried about my health with this diet. I have Ulcerative Colitis as well as AS and I've been working really hard at trying to listen to my body which has basically led me to figure out the only truely safe foods for me are all white meats (pork, chicken, turkey, and these all natural brats I found with minimal ingredients which suprisingly don't bother me), leafy greens and olive oil. I have found that starch and sugar bother my stomach which milk has sugar and pretty much everything else either has starch or sugar. I even tried soy and almond milk and both seemed to bother me. What I'm worried about now is what is this doing to my health? I know it's healing my gut and hopefully healing my joints (although I haven't noticed this yet I think because I've been experementing so much) which is good but am I losing the fats, vitamins and minerals my body needs to live? The thing that really scared me is when I saw a post that someone said eating all meat and no fat is deadly and he said he ate tons of butter. I haven't tried strait butter yet but probably will now after reading that post. I've never heard of eating all meat being deadly but it definately got me worried. I've tried the recommended supplements (L-Glutamine, calcium, a multivitamin and Natren Healthy Trinity) which really tore up my stomach and gave me a terrible headache all day. My brother said he gets headaches with L-Glutamine so maybe that was what it was. Also it was powder form L-Glutamine (no fillers) and the other supplements were the brands recommended on this site. I'm going to try the calcium again to see if that bothers me but I'm still worried if it is truely deadly eating pretty much all meat. What do you guys think?
