Hm…I wouldn't like hearing this idea if I were you, but what if you try taking out almonds and tahini for a week and see what happens? When I've taken out food triggers, I've often felt better within 3-4 days.

If THAT doesn't help, try using animal fat as your fat source instead of olive/nut/canola/etc oils.

Also, are you using sea salt? In the US, at least, companies are allowed to put cornstarch in commercially-produced table salt to make it pour more smoothly, and they don't have to include it on the ingredients list.

I have Reiter's Syndrome, an HLA-B27 disease similar to AS. Diagnosed 2008. I used Humira and methotrexate until 2012, when I was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma and given a hysterectomy and a 26% chance of 5-year survival. Cancer-free ever since I stopped taking Humira and methotrexate; trying to trust medicine again. In a mobility scooter since 2013 with joint pain and disease-related stress fractures. Uveitis. Eyes and joints flare whenever I stray from a severely limited diet (NSD+).
