Sounds like a plan! Good luck, hope you find some relief.
Your experience is so familiar - especially the early frustration. But I got better and I really hope you do too. The NSD has changed my life, I am pretty much med free (NSAIDS only when I get headaches from being super cheaty). And 2 years later I can tolerate a lot more starch now. And when I get cheaty (and boy do I get cheaty) and flare up I know exactly what to do to get better again.
p.s. glad you kept the cheese and put it in the freezer instead of the bin...I couldn't eat it for months but now I eat a little bit almost every day, pain free!
