Enbrel was enough to loosen Chuck Norris' lasso from around my spine and the eye drops worked almost instantly. Not to worry but appreciate your sympathy. I gave the pstarch a week break or so but then came back hard and heavy. 4 tbs/day mixing in little bits of banana and plantain flour and 3 of each of the three different kinds of probiotics. I'll do that for ten days and then space them out afterwards.(as per R.Nikoley's recs.) Belly pressure went away along with the gas not too long after. I feel getting back on it hasn't made a difference as far as my iritis is concerned.
The old sock and shoe game, hey Dlee? I have one pair of shoes that are unrealistically tough to get on. Putting them on recently made me realize the state I was in. Frustrating for myself in that the pain levels(albeit briefly) were some of the worst I've ever had.. I'm finally gaining weight, my complexion is better, digestion and bm's are perfect, my body composition is almost exactly where I want it to be. I think that's why I was so shocked that after everything I'd done and progress I've seen elsewhere, that it didn't seem to make a lick of a difference when it came to managing my AS symptoms.
I'm currently on a hunt for starchy foods that don't bother me, if there are any? White potatoes cooked and cooled cause way more pain than sweet potatoes but yams induce the least so far. Maybe they all do but the biologics just make me feel less pain? Does anyone else notice a better tolerance to certain kinds of starchy foods vs. other ones? You've been eating quite a few potaoes, Dlee. Is there an amount threshold that you've noticed at all?
I was pumped up to see a pic of you squatting 6 plates on each side at the 2014 AS Olympics
but that link is broken. Where were the games held this year?
If you re-post it, now anything less than 6 plates will be a HUGE disappointment. And unacceptable
