Is your diet a time bomb?

by Tiffany Anthony

What follows is a bit about my personal experience with carbohydrate-related gastrointestinal disorders, and how low carbing has helped me. I'm not a doctor, and I'm not suggesting that you try to diagnose any condition you may have based on this article. I'm sharing this with you because I know from talking to many of you over the years that the symptoms I had are quite common, and I hope to give you a little information that you can use as a starting point in your discussions with your health care provider. For me, just knowing that there is a way for me to control my symptoms has been a huge help.  But first, a little background.
