Jeffo,
Sorry I did not see your question until now. I am basically doing the seignalet diet and nsd diet. I have to be really strict and I can't have many oils, animal products, grains, nighshades. My diet is so strict that I fit into the Siengnalet diet.I still fudge and have dark chocolate that has some milkfat in it. I try really hard to stick to this diet, it makes me feel better. I think what I need to do is a juice fast for a week or so and see if that helps me even more than I am now.
Are you doing a diet for your AS?

The Seingnalet diet does not come up first on the blog, you have to search for it on the blog by searching "seignalet" A you tube video comes up with it too.

Diet change has improved my RA. I feel best eating raw veggies and some fruits and avoiding grains, sugars, nightshades, beans and dairy. Sed rate dropped from 65 to 19, but it took over a year.
