I worry about the ingredients in that ORAC too. I didn't look into other brands but probably should have. For psyllium, I just ordered this one http://www.allstarhealth.com/f/now-whole_psyllium_husks_certified_organic.htm
as I'm not sure wether I should use the whole husk or blend it into powder?(I find allstarhealth to be the cheapest place for most supplements and even cheaper with its flat rate shipping) I don't know about psyllium but pomegranate seeds only test positive for starch when I crack open the seed. And again I'm not sure how well these seeds or husks are broken down by our guts. Is that why you are hesitant to try berries? Or is it for another reason? As per PHD's reccs., I also ordered some dextrose powder hoping to build up my daily carb intake, my tolerance to them and to help with post exercise carb loading.
The more the merrier, Copen. If you end up trying any of this, please keep us posted on what you're doing and how you're feeling.
It's tough for us as we seem to be the only auto immune issue with restrictions on starch! Tons of great sources indicate that a large portion of our diets should come from starchy vegetables and foods. It seems that starch is really beneficial to the human gut microbiome but as for those of us with AS...?
