I was diagnosed with AS about 5 months ago. I really want to stay away from too much medication. Has anyone made changes to their diet and had success?
It is hard to tell with only myself to experiment on, but my current diet is Vegan, low sugar, NO gluten, NO collagen or Gelatin
Rice, beans, legumes, nuts, veggies.
Pineapple fresh including core and Papaya (For digestive enzymes)
Indian and thai curries with coconut cream
make sure you are getting enough Boron too. Iherb.
B vit supplement and an Iron one occasionally.
Curcumin tabs and Ginger tea
oats for breakfast cooked in water with Tahini (no dried fruit or honey)
I am not cured YET, but i'm doing a lot better than i was.
I would be very interested to hear what diets are working for others
The low/no carbs diet did not work for me. (Kick AS London diet)
