Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 hi deb with AS have you looked into the no starch diet? i have 2 online friends with AS in remission just on no fruit or nut version of paleo diet. you basically eat meat fish vegs fats like olave oil, butter, coc oil, and eggs. i follow a version of that with a bit of fruit and nuts as i find the latter too hard to stick to and it really helps lessen the pain and inflamm of RA. monique Leonie, I am reading " Digestive Wellness " by Lipski PHD. Nutritionist, and she speaks very clearly about our digestive tract highly influencing our immune system. An excellent book. Intestinal flora, food and chemical allergies and sensitivities, NSAIDS, chemotherapy, stress as well as antibiotics can effect our digestive abilities which in turn can cause immune responses. I have AS and studies tend to show (with genetic tendencies) my chance of having gotten the illness could have been directly related to leaky gut syndrome (caused by the above). I'm still in the investigative phase of AP and am very happy to hear it has helped so many. I wish the best of health to all. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
