I am doing NSD for two month, and some of my answers are based on the general impression I have from everything I've read so far from other people experiences.
1. Not sure, even if Dr. Ebringer research is the one that comes up.
2. Not sure, but I think it was not accepted
3. Yes, many people have had very positive results with the diet
4. Yes, diferent bodys, diferent needs, diferent reaction. This doesn't seem to be forever. After the gut starts to heal, some starchy foods can be tolerated usually
5. Yes, again, it depends on your body, and maybe on how advanced the desease is. Some people only cut some starchy foods with good results.
6. Yes. Many people are allergic to dairy (not only people with AS) so avoiding dairy can be helpful if your body is a bit lazy with lactose. Same with sugar. But I guess one will never now until the body is pain free, so it's all about testing.
Hope it helps
