Hello @cleverrover and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for sharing this study with members who may find it beneficial to consider for themselves. Do you feel your father would be amendable to trying this diet?

We did talk about it briefly. It would certainly be a huge and difficult lifestyle change. Since he's been dealing with this for many years and has tried pretty much every medical treatment we can find with little relief, he's open to trying it. I think 100% adherence would be difficult so we wonder if just some diet changes would show any improvement.

My husband was recently diagnosed with LV and has a very painful large sore on his ankle. No docs in our area have ever seen this before. Is there any doctor at Mayo or elsewhere that have treated this disease? What type of doctor would we look for?
Thank you for any info.
