Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives NSD and diet-related; Does it work or does it not?

when first readed Ebringer's theory (and the information this forum provided)i said "evrika" and become being a "believer".

have to mention that i have both AS and rectocolitis.

But right now - even as a "believer" - i have some unanswered questions:
Strage as it is - i can tolerate home made carrots juice or boiled carrots - wich when tested with iodine turn black every time. Not only i can tolerate them - but after eating them i feel better than before regarding both back and gut problems.
John said that he can hardly tolerate some boiled carrots after 11 years on NSD.

But give me some olives, some prunes, some berries or some tomatoes and i get in a flare (gut and SA) the seccond day. Not to speak of chocolate: as darker i eat it so does my mood gets: darker !

Definately my symptoms improved after NSD (4 months till now - so still a novice). So i'll stick on it no matter the questions. but still...

So - is it all in the starch&bacteria theory - or there's also a connection between what can pass our gut membrane and our body cannot handle,except this specific bacteria?
Can AS be triggered only by some bacteria (KB or other) or there are different possible causes that can rezolve in same result: joint problems that can be clinicaly defined as AS?

Must say that i never had ESR higher than 12 all since i make my test (3 years), in fact some of my darker days were when ESR was at 2-4 !!! Also my lgA were always normal. No antibodies for common bacterias that can explain my gut problems were found...
