The first couple of months of NSD/LSD were terrible for me. No energy, leg cramp, weigh loss, feeling faint and dizzy, throwing up food -- you name it. I realized my body couldn't take the sudden change. I couldn't digest all that leaves and raw veggies. So I decided to become more flexible about the diet and then experimented little by little by introducing and eliminating different things. Now I eat small amount of rice sometimes and do not overdo raw leaves and veggies. I do drink milk or eat yoghurt everyday. I took liquid multivitamins for a while -- found Floradix to be very helpful but can't continue since it is very expensive. But I think it helped me a lot. Now I take it only once in a while but still taking fish oil and cal,mag,boron. My weight has stabilized, my digestion has improved and as for my pain level -- while it is not all gone at least I am functioning. I found that other grains especially wheat is really a problem for me while rice and some lentil/legumes (such as bengal gram) are not as bad as long as I don't eat them too much. My energy level is back to where it used to be which is not anything like normal healthy people but at least I am not about to faint. I think the NSD/LSD thing is rather complex and one needs to find the right combo for their own body. It is not quite one formula fits all. It is just not that simple. I am not saying I have figured everything out about what's right or wrong for me, but I realized after a while that maintaining a normal (for me)level of energy, weight, digestion and ability to function were my immediate priority. And then if I can ever do pure NSD and get rid of the disease -- that will be a miracle. I haven't given up that hope.
