Yes, even my cardiologist thinks its the best diet out there. Although, he says probably the hardest to stay on long term. I found a relief in pain on it is all I know. Every now and then you will have to cheat to keep form going insane. in my case, when i do I get a wake up call to remind me what sugar/starches/etc do to increase neuropathy pain.
i always wonder how some people gain weight while suffering from neuropathy. My neurologist says I am actually in the minority. In my case i can't gain a pound because my body will not allow me to put garbage (processed, sugars, starches, wheat) into it without responding with neuro pain.
I still find Dairy can be a trigger and hope to eliminate that at some point. If I do give up milk though I will have very few options left though.
