You’re welcome @jakedduck1! I agree, a low carbohydrate diet is not easy when you enjoy candy and cookies. I do it for the benefits. For one thing It reduces inflammation. That is a plus no matter the ailment. Everyone is different but I feel a decrease with the numbness and burning. Also, I am not highly sensitive to the sweet tastes in foods. Before, no matter what I ate, all I could taste was the sweetness. Nothing tasted good to me like the way I knew it. A low carbohydrate diet helps decrease the symptoms of neurological disorders. The Keto diet which is low in carbohydrates was used back in the 1930s or so to lower the occurrences of seizures. This was before pills were developed to do the same. People preferred the pills because it was much easier to control the seizures than following a low carb diet. Needless to say the Keto diet became less popular when the pills came out. It is used now to lose weight. Sugar or carbs is addicting. The more you have the more you want. Did you notice an increase of numbness after consuming the candy and cookies? You can try eliminating the sweets for a couple of days to see if you get a decrease in numbness, that is, if you want to change your diet. I once tried the “south beach diet” where the first 2 weeks you avoid eating foods with a high carb count. It was hard at first but in the end I did not care for the sweet foods. It is up to you. It all depends on what you consider more important to you. This time of year is particularly difficult to do without the cookies, cakes, and candies. Don’t forget the hot chocolate in colder climates. Toni🤓
