Hopefully adding berries doesn't cause any ill effects. I know what your saying about the never ending food intolerance hole. There are sooooo many people that have sooooo many food intolerances and it always makes me wonder wether the elimination of this or that will make a difference. That was part of the reason that got me stuck on Dr. Ayers' work. It would make sense that everyone's gut microbiome is different and that they can handle/not handle according to the different bacterial strains inhabiting the gut. How many of us with AS have completely different food intolerances.(with the exception of specific kinds of starch)
I really like that leangains site, Dlee. Makes a lot of sense to just stick with the basic exercises and a healthy diet. Adequate rest in between. If Phil Galfond and Richard Nikoley use and support his strategies, they'll be good enough for me. Funny that you mention dairy as I just only realized within the past couple months that I react horribly to full fat greek yogurt. I've been scared off all other dairy and similarly do coconut milk and cocnut cream instead.
I've tried fasts from bulletproofexecs recs. but they didn't seem to resonate well with me or make any difference. I only tried the 24 hr fast once per week for a few weeks. Do the fasts you follow help alleviate pain or are they more for body composition?

I'm confident that pstarch is not increasing my pain levels at this point. I'm going keep myself on 2 tbs until at least one week after I've added my pysllium, inulin fos and amazing grass. If I don't react poorly from those new items, then I'll kick it up to 3-4 tbs. I'll be picking up my orders in the next few days.
