Hi Wind_rider

I can see this subject has stirred some strong emotions. You too obviously believe the doctors and the AS sufferers who ignore diet are simply wrong.

Of those with AS who do not believe the AS-diet link there are some I know who do not take NSAIDS. I am talking of people who are attending an AS exercise group so they accept the value of exercise but they are not just covering all their symptoms with NSAID.

You say "Do you think there are many doctors that get sick on DOUGHNUTS? Have neck lock from a bag of french fries and a cheeseburger on a white bread bun? ". These are the sort of symptoms I was referring to which would convince anyone who had them that diet was a factor. Obviously the non-diet people do not have them. Doesn't it make them different?
