Hey, Ted:

Quote:

I will never forget that an "allergic" reaction i had gave me symptoms identical to my AS symptoms and suggest there are many people out there reacting to more than just starch. Of course i stopped my "allergy" by healing my damaged gut.





This is one of the most important issues--that both allergy and immune function are so focused upon our gut integrity and eating the "wrong" foods can devastate all three. And you are further quite right--we don't always know exactly what those foods are.

It is hard to suggest to people that they begin a fast even after they have tried the NSD and had it not work for them, but a fast always got me out of flare and healed my gut with NO repeat ulcers in 17 years. It is almost too bad that I have the trick of the NSD plus antibiotics; after the steroid epidurals and being inactive from the operation I have some serious weight to lose!

G'day,
John
