I agree wholeheartedly with this approach. If I want something badly
enough, I will try it. But this hasn't really happened yet. I did have
about two ounces of really fine red wine a few weeks ago, and got a
killer headache the next day; however, I still get headaches from time
to time regardless, so it's inconclusive. I do still use some dairy,
but little. And the symptoms associated with dairy had eased when I
quit grains and cheeses.

I agree that you cannot go wrong with being strict.
