  I feel that I have essentially "cured" my trich. I was plagued by it for about 45 years (I'm 54). I've been moving my eating more towards a whole food diet, as in no processed foods. I am also plant based, as in no meat or diary, although I don't know that that's as much a contributing factor as the no processed foods part. But particularly no processed sugar.
