Hello,
I write from Spain and I apologize for my poor English.
My husband has AS for over 40 years ago. Too many years with pain and anti-inflammatories drugs. He is HLA B27 +
We have an only child. An intelligent and kind boy. 4 months ago began with the first symptoms. Knee pain in the buttocks and lower back. The analysis HLA B27 is also + for him.
He has to think now about their studies and their future. Not the best time to work on accepting a chronic illness.
This is really a great sadness for us. But that's life.
We are lucky to have found your website. It is full of knowledge, experience and generosity.
I researched a lot about NSD and we're at it since January 2012 (so far without removing yogurt or cheese). The natural antibiotic use propolis and bee pollen for vitamins .. No pasta, no potatoes, no sweetmeats, no bread, no cereal ....... Oops! This is very difficult for a boy 17. Ussually social life was linked to food full of starch: Pizza, Burger King, Kentucky friend chicken ...
So far the result is good but uneven. I'm trying to get the boy is aware of the relationship between food and pain.
Our NSD, now:
1 - Breakfast: natural orange juice, fruit (apple, kiwi, cantaloupe, strawberries
small pieces) with honey and walnuts with yogurt.
2 - break at school. Apple and almond flour biscuits and coconut (or nuts)
3 - Noon: meat (chicken, beef, pork) or fish (salmon, tuna ...) with salad (tomato, lettuce, olives and olive oil ...) + 1 fruit
4 - Dinner: broccoli or leafy greens or vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, peppers, onions ...) + fish or meat or ham + 1 fruit.
I welcome your comments about this. I trust that NSD can help us to a new life with AS but without pain.
Thank you very much for your commitment and generosity.
Health and good luck!
Maiga
