Hi,
Sorry for jumping in but I've noticed some very respectable sites also stating more and more about diet and bowel flora in both SpA and IBD.
Even the local pharmacist journals are really going on about it and they tend to be progessive here they really pitched in to get enbrel and remicade listed for AS.
I do n't think it will work for everyone but not everyone has the same disease and there'sub groups of the diseases. My plaecebo effect lasted on and off from 1988. I just think I was lucky and something worked that kept me off meds and relatively healthy for much longer than if I'd not stopped those foods, probably on new hips by now and in a much worse state elsewhere.
So for newbies or others who are having a bad time and having trouble with drugs it may be something to try that reduces pain, fusion and cuts back on meds.....
You should visit my house after I've eaten pizza, you know which room I'll be in.....wish it still worked as well and for everyone.
