I agree completely. Painful but useful. It'll be a while before I'm brave enough to try black beans again.
I was for fortunate that NSAIDs were completely useless for me. They were the first drugs offered and if they had've provided relief, I would have been all over them. I hopped right over to enbrel and got back my life back almost instantly. It's always interested me to see so many people with the same/similar condition on different meds.
I assume NSD is helping if you've reduced meds and also plan to cut further?
Do you follow any kind of dietary/lifestyle system aside from NSD?

Dlee and Coopa, do you guys supplement with anything or eat coconut oil etc. during your fasting periods?
