Hi Lynne
Welcome to our little piece of the web. I am glad that you found us.
Your story isn't that different from many others here. We all have had that bit of denial. I think that the others have answered your questions as well as they can be. AS is a different creature for each of us.
If the diet is giving you some relief, I would certainly go that route. I hope that the Dragonslayer reads your post, he is our resident NSD guru and living proof of its success. He can halp you perfect your diet so you get the maximum effect from it. Drop him an IM or post on the NSD Forum and I am sure that he will help you.
