What?

Yeah, bilko--you are right. But the question should be: If you have a REACTIVE arthritis, why the heck is the doctor treating you with DMARDs instead of antibiotics?!!.

In our orientation, AS is the result of Klebsiella Reactive Arthritis (and should also be treated with antibiotics...in some cases, btw).

Reiter's Syndrome evolves into AS as a natural course of B27 disease. After two years the only difference is that AS caused by RS involves the knees more often, due to the location of the most active intestinal lesions.

So it is still very important to keep starch-free, however, the timeline to healing results may be much longer, with extra emphasis on eliminations required.

How's the tem in the Serpentine these days? and Any good rants from the soapbox?

Best Regards,
John
