I have asthma as well. Was hospitalized for it, needed prednisone on many occasions and neb treatments. I took daily inhalers for years. In an effort to help my pain symptoms from AS I drastically changed my diet. Along with being starch free I am gluten, grain, soy and dairy free as well. Happy to say I have not need inhalers or any other form of treatment for asthma in over a year.
