I agreee, it seems exclusion, especially from recently created
frankenstein foods (hydrogenated oils, white bread, sweets etc.) seems
to have to biggest effect.. rather than the idea of "add supplement x
and all will be fine".

Besides that, I feel there could be some truth to Lutz's theory that the
pancrease and hormonal system only secretes a certain amount of insulin
(and other carb related enzymes) daily.. (he states around 72g worth).
Eating the regular SAD diet or a high carb diet or over 200 etc. leaves
the body exhausted with no way to keep breaking down excess carb
intake.. thus leading to sickness and unbalance.

I actually got into the way of eating due to colitis.. and I noticed a
direct link between amount of carbs or even carb loaded meals versus low
carb days and meals with carbs which were balanced with proten / fat (to
stop insulin rushes)

words, those

veg/fruit carbs

carbs.
