I had pain that was crippling some days, I did use a cane for a while. I did have pain return after six weeks on the plan and reintroducing (asiago, cows milk) cheese. I, of course stopped eating the…[Read more]

    • Rachel, I can’t say enough good things about how the program has helped me and I am sure you will be very encouraged as you begin this new way of eating and lifestyle changes.
