PHD is my favorite health related book. It touches on auto immunity and cancer. Two birds, one book.
When you say 'adding in more beneficial bacteria' do you mean the pro-b's?
I'm glad I'm handling starchy foods, too! 1 cup of rice and 1 small yam yesterday(body weight exercise day)
That article you posted, Molly, explains the faster speed of ankylosis from inflammation really well.

I couldn't agree more about inactivity being a big factor in AS inflammation. I want a recliner for that reason. It's impossible to find a position I can be in for too long with my current couch. Exercise has to fit in the Goldilocks zone for myself.
LDN, two birds, one drug. Started last night. I don't think it had any effect but I was happy to have slept like a log after reading that one of the only side effects is sleeplessness. My dream is to retire in Thailand and farm out my days in the sun on a tropical island where my Wife is from.(on a very low budget) Our family has tons of land and all the seafood I can eat. I don't foresee that being a possibility whilst having to pay 1600$ per month for bio's. I could cut down the intervals and eventually they have to come down in price but still. My hope is that LDN along with diet/exercise/OTC pain killers will be enough. The LDN package came from Thailand. I'm sure I can find it myself over there.
Remember those kids in elementary who when you simply whispered in their direction they would start sneezing, get watery eyes, a runny nose, develop a rash and get a nose bleed? I kind of feel like one of those kids when I saw your recipe for coconut ice cream. That sounds super delicious and would be a relatively healthy treat for 99% of the population but I have MAJOR problems with chocolate and egg whites. I might just eliminate all ingredients except coconut milk and vodka
but only smirnoff red label, gluten free
and hope that I don't have/develop corn issues ;(
