Hello Chris
Good for you!
I think it's fine that you bought this thread back on track! I think it was the reason John posted about fasting in the first place. Because someone asked him his opinion about it.
I find I need to eat every couple of hours or I get light-headed, headachy and can't think straight, so would probably not attempt to fast!
For me, diet is my only treatment for AS at the moment and it is working wonders for me. I do not think that diet is the only trigger for my AS (illness, injury and stress play a part too), but there is no doubt in my mind that when I eat starch when my AS is active - I go down hill - and when I cut starch out - I improve. I cannot prove this to anyone - but I know it!
It is good to know as many options out there as possible when you have a condition that does not have a cure.
Any experience you have which you feel has helped your AS is worth sharing with others - you can choose to find out more about things you are interested in or skip over those you are not.
I wish you every success with your fasting and hope so much that it kicks your AS into touch.
Tink
