If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Good info you posted. Do you know why a person can reintroduce starchy foods after months of being on NSD? Is it because they have healed their gut? Or is it because there are less klebs and less klebs mean less pain?
The former reason. I have not heard of being able to add more starch safely while still having gut problems. A healthy gut needs a thriving population of "good" bacteria to compete with klebs and prevent them from having population explosions, and it needs to not be "leaky" because having small amounts of improperly digested food and bacteria leak into the bloodstream will rile up the immune system (and for those with us with certain genes, collateral damage ensues from that immune response...)

This information has been really helpful to me. I've had a loose understanding of why I need to be on the NSD diet, mainly for me it is a way of avoiding medications beyond NSAIDs. I wonder, is it best to start out very strict, because that is what I have done. I would love some tips on boosting energy, because I feel like I always need a nap, but can never get comfortable. And crunchy snacks, because I really miss chips.

AS diagnosed October of 2011.
Putting most of my eggs in the NSD and exercise basket, using only TENS, massage, heat and ice, and NSAIDS (sparingly) for pain. Drops for iritis as flare necessitates. Looking back I feel I would have been diagnosed with AS years ago, if I had found a rheumy earlier than 2011.

Though I have no idea what you are eating this has helped me: increase your good fats and proteins, eat about every 2-4 hours small mini protein/fat/vegs w/ns.

Yep, I miss the cruchy snacks. I eat almonds and baby carrots a lot. I also now eat kale "chips" (dried, seasoned kale). I started NSD by just eliminating all starch, which took weeks to figure out all the starch sources. I'm okay with sugar and dried fruits, so I can get energy boosts with those. And I drink a lot of coffee.
