Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives NSD and diet-related; Newbie here 3 day NSD experience

Just copying my post from another topic as nobody answered me

Hello everyone. I'm here because of my husband. And I'm not sure if this is the right topic to write. My husband was diagnosed with AS 10 years ago. The past years he was on sulphasalazin. He does not feel pain, only after a long walk in the left hip. He has limited movement in neck, back and especially in leg hip (thinking about replacement). This week he went to see his rheumatologist and she said the AS is progressing and she recommends to switch the treatment for methotrexat and biologics. We both were very anxious about the bad news and I started to search for information and found the new thing for us about what causes AS. I'm very happy that I've found this site and all your comments, especially your success stories with the NSD. Today is the 2nd day with this diet and I'm worried only about one thing - how do my husband know that it's working as he does not feel pain (now he does not take any medication, he is waiting for the new biologic treatment). Sorry, I didn't have time to read all comments.
I'm not testing products with iodine. Haven't got yet. I'm referring to the product table I've found in this site.
I have so much questions. I'm not sure for the recommended new treatment. Maybe it will not be necessary if new diet works. I'll be very thankful for your answers.

If the diet is effective the disease will go into remission and the drugs may not be required. But neither the drugs or diet can undo the damage that has already been done. You say your husband has no pain but I guess he does experience stiffness at times, especially in the mornings. If the diet works this would lessen.
