Hello Aussiegirl
I for one think your 2c was well worth the money!
I'm sorry to hear about your long list of problems.
you've really got a hell of a lot to cope with and to try and treat. It must be a nightmare for you to treat one thing and potentially set off another. I'm very interested by your experience with diet. You've shown very clearly that the diet is not working for you.
The NSD works great for me at the moment. It has not cured me - it keeps my symptoms under control.
It would be nice if there was a "cure" for AS. It would be nice if it was as simple as one diet fits all. But that is clearly not the case.
Everyone is different, everyone's bodies react differently, everyone has a different combination of symptoms and related diseases and everyone has varing degrees of damage from AS.
In addition to this there are a number of different "triggers" for a flare up which are not realated to diet - such as stress and pysical trauma.
I believe in - trying out all the options that are available to you until you find the one that suits you best and that you are comfortable with. Everyone is different. End of.
