As I mentioned before have been trying special diet to improve p and pa (You are not allowed to view links.

I am not allowed to eat anything that is not wholemeal bread (or even cake, cookies, pasta have to be wholemeal), no sugar (except for honey - thank god!), no milk products or anythings else that comes from animals (egg, meat, fish), no black or green tea or coffe, officially not even soya milk (but allowed rice milk).
Loads of fresh an uncooked fruit and vegetables.
Have been sticking to that for more than a week now and have been going surprisingly well on it.
I've been busy growing my own sprouts and cooking all meals myself (have even started baking own bread, but first attempt was very feeble and pathetic
)
I cannot say if it has changed anything for my p or pa as my rheumy has put me on steroids at the same time which kind of kicked in, but I feel good doing the diet.
I enjoy preparing my own lunches (every day intrigued what the others have to eat in the cantine
).
Have not managed to avoid egg completely, but have kept it down to a minimum (e.g. one egg in a cake that has lasted for over a week now and is still more than half in the freezer left - hmmm yummy: banana bread with nuts and honey: soooo good not only on a diet
). That will have to do
Only thing I don't like about is it that it makes you so unflexible. No eating out, no quick snack in between.
But have noticed that I started appreciating sweetness a lot more (one teaspoon of honey in tea and I am real happy - like x-mas and birthday on the same day
).
Will see how long I keep going, but at least now confident enough to oppen a thread about it (long may it last
)
