Another low carber I know (my mom) says that the cleaner she got doing LC, the cleaner she had to get. She has an amazing number of allergies - wheat being primary. She's reduced herself to eating fruit, a few vegies, and some meats - because so many things give her terrible allergic reactions. Really - no eggs, dairy products, or shellfish.
She has to be careful even about what kinds of vitamins she takes (they often have wheat or dairy in them.) She never goes out to dinner anymore because she's got to have pure food with no possibility of things in them that make her ill.
She does find it a bit restrictive, but likes that ALL of her health problems (like arthritis, psoriasis, gout, diverticulitis, shingles, ulcers, etc.) are non-existent as long as she doesn't eat the stuff that gives her fits. Plus, she's maintained her weight for almost 3 years now - unheard of, as she's been overweight my entire life.
