To answer your question, I am watching my diet, excercising, drinking more water and less coffee. No creamer which really gives me problems! I eat lots of salads and vegetables. My doctor advises if I am going to eat them, to steam or microwave instead of raw! Even salads! (Well, I haven't tried salads that way yet!). No skins or rough vegetables. No lactose or histamine releasing foods for awhile or artificial sweeteners except Stevia. Use Mega Spore probiotic (50 billion). Eat chia seeds or psyllium husk and ground turkey breast instead of beef (no red meat). No bread, instead corn tortillas, rice, potatoes, or quinoa. Popcorn for snacks. This is info I received at Mayo. I have just started but am willing to try anything they think will help!! If anyone has any things that help them, please let me know!
