A big yes on diet. The reason I had such a bad initial flareup was that I was eating almost exclusively Tomatoes, potatoes, pork chops, sausages, bacon, french bread, wine, sweets. When I eventually found out what I had done and change my eating habits I started to improve. This whole episode had been a life changing experience. I have had to learn to pull up my big girl panties and face up to doing what I really didn't want to do. Eat the foods I would never have done before and live with never eating my favorite foods ever again. And exercising, but based on your post I will get back to doing it again. Thanks.
