Hi Erica. I have read quite a few sites that say IBS and IBDs can cause alot of trouble in this area too. I've also read about how when (or if) our bodies get robbed of vitamins and minerals, it can cause some problems like this too. There is also pain and stiffness and the inability to do the things we want or used to do. Stress, lack of sleep, financial/insurance burdens, effects on income, effects on family and social life etc. It all adds up. So yes, I think they can be a symptom to AS. Doctors might not always think so (eg thinking only chemical imbalance instead), but I think so.
HLA-B27+, JRA diagnosis in 1981, re-diagnosed as AS in 1988. Also iritis, colitis, and psoriasis. NSD + low carb helps me. My health makes it hard for me to post in a timely way.
