I gave up my Sulfasalazine nearly 3 months ago now.
While on the Sulfasalazine I never ate very much starch and ate no wheat. But when I came off it I tried to cut down starch a bit further.
After a month or so I got a bad AS flare up, so I nearly went fully NSD to get rid of it.
I think I have the AS fairly under control using NSD though Im still a bit stiffer than when on the Sulfasalazine.
One thing that I have noticed though is that Im getting a bit of IBD or proctitis. Could the NSD be causing this? Or is it likely that Im just getting the proctitis now because I dont have any sulfasalazine in my gut anymore. (I used to get small amounts of this before I ever got diagnosed with AS)
I eat an awful amount of dairy to keep up my calorie intake so this could possibly be causing it, or maybe its a bit of starch that I eat in bananas and other hidden starch.
