Welcome! Sorry you have to join us. This is a great group for support and advice. I tried to do at least part of the Dr. Hooshmand four F diet and it did help so I need to go back and try to stick to it better. However, like every thing else so far no magic bullet for me yet. I'm also 54 so I do not think youth is on our side on this one. What I've read is that remission is more likely for the younger ones. Lots of us have tried various treatments with various results so there's a lot of information here as well.
