Hi Sherri - glad you decided to give it a try. It took a bit of thinking before I decided to give it a try as well, but I was able to see it was working with results very quickly, within a week. And I will definetly flare when I eat starch now, it happens, usually accidentially, but fewer and fewer accidents now, after 7 months I've learned a lot.
You'll be eating a lot of meat and vegetables, so you may want to start increasing heathly fats so you can avoid digestive problems/constipation. Coconut oil is a really good one, organic unrefined. I just eat it by the spoonful, up to 6 Tablespoons everyday.
Here is a link to my story, it has all the best links I have come across since being diagnosed about a year ago, which you might find useful.
