The No Starch Diet is comparable to Paleo, but a bit stricter:
- No grains
- No dairy
- No legumes, potatoes, yams as all are starchy
- Yes: meat, fish
- Yes: walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, brazil nuts ..
- Yes: carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, lettuce, tomato
- Yes: most fruit .. except no to banana and stone fruits
After eating Natto (Japanese cultured soy beans) I was able to resume eating starchy foods without the asthma recurring (except curiously have to avoid peanuts, and not too much cheese). Only in extreme conditions did the asthma return eg a cold causing me to cough a lot and then maybe some asthma until the cold abated.

Update: Dairy still brings on asthma. Looks like a dysbiosis. Cultured dairy should be better tolerated in moderation.Replied by Zark from Emerald City, Emerald City, The Land of Oz on 01/02/2026
Update: I have since learnt Cow milk has been triggering my Asthma even homemade yoghurt made with organic milk triggered it within a few hours. A few months back I had been experimenting with making "SIBO Yoghurt" and that seemed to help temporarily to reduce the dairy sensitivity. Have to keep experimenting and, hopefully, work out which strain it was that helped, ie. L Salivarius, L Gasseri, B. Coagulans, B. Subtilis.. and it is probably not L. Reuteri that helped as I had used that one recently and still reacted to dairy.
