hi court
There are alot of foods to eat and avoid,,you want to stay away from triggers,{sounds like you found the 4 f RSD diet which is a good thing},My worst triggers are sugars,caffeine,fried foods,choclate,,,take out fast food,,I do really good when i can discipline myself to eat rice[Ilike jasmine] and frozen vegtables,and oatmel [plain for breakfast,,,,,Its a bland nasty diet,but it lowers pain levels within 2 weeks .,,,,,But like all humans,,we are obedient while were in pain,,but after 2 weeks and you are feeling better,,,we start cheating again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bobber

Not me..I am a small portion...junky eatter, not really junky as I went on A plan... after I had my kids...8 yrs ago..drop 65lbs. kept it off and watch my fats..but a terrible vegetable person...I watch what I eat but have not stream lined it with my RSD...Honestly..I would bathe in chocolate if I could but I have a pretty high diapline for what is good vs. bad for me so I watch myself...I am thinking strive for the 5..(me I strive for 4 kicking out the veggies)...everything in moderation and essential amino acids..are essential!!

Thanks guys! so far.. well starting yesterday.. I have been eating alot of organic food, fresh squeezed juices, grapefruit and lemonade, and trying to eat more veggies, I am not really all for veggies either.. but I am trying more. Iam really a mexican junky.. HA! I could live on mexican food, but I found a good organic mexican soup and tried it last night and it was WONDERFUL!!! I guess I havent found my triggers.. I have no idea what they are, but I am going to try and take out the foods that that diet dats to take out!

Thanks!!!

I don't do follow this diet though should but anyhow my pain doc suggested taking vitamin c supplements. It is rare a regular doc who is not holistic suggests supplements so I take it. Not sure if it helps but can't hurt. I take other supplements too like omega and magnesium but the vitamin c was highlighted by him
