Treatment Schedule
2/weekly until medication gradually withdrawn (expect symptoms to worsen when reducing — wait for stabilization before reducing again). Then 1/weekly × 1-2 months, then 1/fortnightly × 3+ months, then 1/monthly until one year completed. Completely avoid spices, onions, leeks, horseradish, mustard, ginger, garlic, coffee (including decaf), fried foods. Simple cooked meals, small portions. Refined carbs and white rice better than wholemeal/brown (easier to digest). Regular lifestyle greatly helps.
