Dear Bizi,

Have you had a blood test for inflammation? Maybe you are fine.
Dermatologists can be good. I suspect that many of them -- like other mdocs -- are not well versed in diet. You need a nutritionist for that it seems.

That book is powerful. Reading it does make a person re-consider their food choices. Versions of the diet vary from each other.
Some say
~dairy is ok in limited amounts
~rice is ok
~fruit is ok in summer
~potatoes ok and so on.

Others say "no" to the above.
You will find your own way. It is essentially low carb, high vegetable, some meat.

I tried the diet for two weeks one time. It did not feel right to me because of the focus on animal products. I did appreciate the book's very strict perspective about eating NO processed foods.
I eat lots of beans and legumes and am not willing to give them up.
Lately I've been incorporating more nuts like walnuts and sliced almonds into my diet in exchange for the beans / legumes.

Have fun, Bizi.
