For my idiosyncratic combination of diabetes and gastroparesis the removal of carbs and fiber have been life savers. I fought hard against recognizing that though and had to prove it to myself with cleanses. But the difference was too dramatic for me to ignore.
Elimination diets are also common among IBD sufferers to identify which foods are making symptoms worse during a flare-up.

Diet alone is never enough to get you out of the flare-up, but it makes a big difference in how deeply you suffer.
