I follow a 'weed and seed' protocol to manage the starch-loving bacteria: I alternate 6-8 weeks of probiotics ("seed") with 10-14 days of herbal antibiotics ("weed").
My herbal antibiotic is usually berberine, and sometimes oil of oregano, peppermint oil, and caprylic acid.
After a few rounds I was able to greatly increase my starch intake.
Suspected USpA. HLA B27, xray, u/sound, blood tests all -ve. Ancient history of plantar fasciitis, SI joint pain, knee arthritis. Recent history of tendinitis, neck pain, debilitating finger pain and stiffness (especially mornings). No diagnosis, no meds.
