Angel, I've been thinking about you. If your attacks are getting this bad, maybe this would be a good time to suggest to your parents that you try out this diet again. It's less drastic than the emergency room and you can say that if it doesn't work, (which we know it will but they don't) you'll try their way. You could set a time limit (ie. Heather's diet for 2 -3 weeks) and see if there is an improvement. Write out what you eat now and how many attacks, and how severe. Then, when on the diet, continue to record how you're doing. That way, your parents can SEE the difference. I know they don't like this because they say there's so many things you can't eat. Why not call it a substitution diet? I know their fav. is burgers and fries, right? Well, you can have a chicken burger (check the frozen section at the grocery store - they now carry ground chicken and turkey burgers) they can have their beef burgers. For the fries, get them to try McCain's Low Fat Fries (I love them - they are a "safe" for me as long as I don't eat the whole bag!). Who knows? They may even like them!@#$?
You see what I'm getting at? You can't have this, but you can substitute this for it. You could even try it in the summer time and volunteer to do some of the cooking. BTW - with the burgers, throw them on the barbecue instead of in the fry pan. That way the fat drips off and it gets a yummy BBQ flavour.
Tell them it's a summer science experiment.
Let me know what you think. As far as I'm concerned, it's more helpful and less drastic than the emerg.
