>> Additionally, I have a fear that refraining from starches will make me extremely sensitive to them

Unfortunately there is some truth in that. Yes, the diet worked well at bringing my inflammation under control, but it aint quite a silver bullet. I had no more AS pain when following the diet strictly, but still some other health issues continued which I have since found are due to gut dysbiosis / SIBO.

Anyway back to increased sensitivity - it isn't a one way trip. You can build up tolerance again. For instance I had problems with foods containing inulin causing inflammation (garlic, onion etc) but by introducing it at first in tiny amounts and then increasing I found that I could tolerate onion and garlic again without issues within about a week. Now, I don't think that method will grant you full tolerance to amylose starch - but I reckon you can return to roughly pre NSD tolerance if you desire.
