Yes the diet is so opposite of my regular healthy lose weight build muscle routine I've been following! Do you think when symptoms arise that you should have CT Scan to confirm? I've just experienced 3rd episode last was 6 years ago and thought I was done! PCP prescribed antibiotics wo scan based on my history...week later feel much better but hope I don't gain weight back from this unhealthy diet! Travel planned in January and how to be certain no flare? Your docs sound good, where located? Thanks for any information!
