If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Don't know what affect any of this will have in the long run, but my daughter had bloodwork done recently that showed some significant changes. We've been low starch for about a year now, and while her pain level still isn't down to 0, some tests came back "better" than they had in the previous two years worth of testing.
Urine pH - went from a low of 5.6 to 7...so, very acidic to neutral
Alkaline phosphatase (blood)- went from very low to in the normal range
Bun/Creatine ratio - went from being low to normal
Vitamin D - went from a low of 17 to 26...without her being able to take supplements for several weeks due to stomach issues.
So, if nothing else I am able to show her she is doing good things for her overall health, and we're a encouraged it may have a long term impact for her.

AS symptoms started 1991. Official dx in 2006 with HLA-B27+, fused SIJ, bone spurs in back, extreme rib/hip pain, and other family with SpA. Started Enbrel in 2006 with good results, but stopped in 2010 due to nerve damage (MS) from it. Getting good results with no-starch diet since 2011.
