Hi everyone,
I have a question for all the NSD dieters out there. Does it really work? I have been on it for about 3 months religiously and cannot tell if it helps or not as the flare ups continue with no seeming relation to diet and the iritis has been a most unpleasant reccuring nightmare.I have been an AS sufferer for 10 years, the last 5 being the worst. From NSAID's to Alternative medicine to snake oil I have tried it all. Finally I started doing the diets. Before I came across the whole London diet and Klebsiella idea I marched down many dead end roads. However there is still so much confusion here even with the NSD. One diet says no dairy and red meat on top of no starch and the other says no sugar,lactose or starch. then there is the regular version a la Dr. Erbringer which prohibits only starch. How long should it take before one sees measurable results? I have eliminated starch and am basically "eating my steak with red wine and salad". If I end up removing the steak and my cheese and milk I feel that I will most likely starve or become a wino who eats grass for a living!
Exhausted and exasperated but still wanting to KICK AS....
