Thanks for this / I have a sweet tooth especially during the holiday season - I just realized my symptoms have worsened the last few days but then I have also indulged in a significant sugar increase in my diet - so today and the next couple days I will cut out sugar totally and see if my pain subsides.

I agree it's not easy to avoid sugar this time of year. I've already had two pieces of blueberry pie, courtesy of my sister, and half a box of Turtles gifted to me by a friend....but I try to spread the Turtles out so I'm only having one a day. And there will be more sweet stuff to come, as another friend is giving me a boxed of baked goodies (I don't want to hurt her by saying no), and more pie on Christmas Day. Come January, though, it's back to a strict minimal-sugar diet.
