After exactly three month on the diet, I am still in pain and i lost weight. Some improvements, but not as I would like. I guess it takes time... I am gonna keep going, and I am starting with suplements again (gave it a month break). I found out that Calcium from Solgar is starchy, after testing with iodine  (thanks for the warning kiwi) I am doing potassium, cod liver oil, oregano oil, bone broth (kinda see it as a suplement), propolis and will add glutamine to the equation. Anyone tried glutamine? I have 1000mg pils, and in the box it says "2 after intense workout and 1 before bed". Givin the pain I cant do much workout, only slow and soft movements. Will it work on the gut anyway? Any tips on the dosage?
My strenght comes from my pain!

I take 5g of L-Glutamine daily. My doctor told me that I could take up to 10g daily. Research an appropriate dosage for your situation.
Kind Regards,
Jay

Hi Tiago,
Jon tried glutamine for a couple of months. Didn't seem to do anything for him. Didn't harm him, but didn't notice any improvement either.

Hey tiago,
About not seeing an improvement ...
I had the same problem until very recently. I've been on the diet for about 3 months with pretty average results, still in alot of pain and still struggling alot. I thought i was one of the unlucky people where the diet doesnt work.
But recently ive had very minimal pain, this is the best ive been on the diet. Its because i eliminated bacon and ham that i was eating, they both had starch. So these two things were crippling me. Im not out of the woods yet but im feeling a hell of a lot better. Hopefully i continue to improve.
So i guess im saying, 1 thing your eating is may be crippling you. Keep fighting, dont give up

I will seb, i will, and giving up (even if sometimes it crosses my mind) is not part of the plans. thanks for the support  I am almost sure i am not eating anything starchy but i will have to double check on everything probably. I was in pain for 7 years, with poor nutrition (AS wise), lots of stress, no exercise. With all of this, i guess it will take some time to heal...that's my theory at least  I am aware of your ups and downs through your posts. You are a tough guy with a strong spirit. Keep it up and hopefully you can kick your AS!

About the Glutamine supplement, do we really need it? Our NSD diet is high on meat/protein. And meat is known as a source of glutamine from food..

i was thinking on giving it a shot. for the gut effects it's suppose to have.
most people with gut problems - like me - also suffer from malabsorbtion, so i'm not sure i can get all i need from meat.
34. Some rheumys say AS stage 1-2 some others say USpA Also UC - rectocolitis. UC curently in remission since feb 2011. AS/USpA remission march-aug 2011. Flare - sept-nov 2011 (antibiotics). Remission now... Modified NSD/SCD. Cook your own ! ____________________________________________________________ Mesalazine-Salofalk 500 mg/day And the list of my medication has become verry short after some years on this diet

Well, I dont know if we really need it or not.
Apparently Glutamine helps in healing the gut, so i will give it a try.
