Sorry to let you down Rita, but I said brand (of yogurt) not bread. Now if you do ever find that bread, I want to be the first to know!!!! We're all going low starch in the family and do miss bread.
My other son isn't doing the diet, but my husband and I are as we didn't feel we could make a 14 year old try and not accompany him. My husband has no back pain, but both he and more especially his father, have the classic AS shape and have lost a lot of height in recent years. He's hoping the diet and exercises will help him uncoil and regain more flexibility. We're actually enjoying eating more healthily and apart from missing sandwiches at lunchtime and potatoes with a meal are all coping well.
Yes, I test his food with iodine. I've been in touch with Prof Ebringer who was brilliant and sent loads of his papers, plus the London AS diet sheet. We've decided to go low starch on that diet rather than total NS at the moment and will review in a few months if the symptoms aren't much improved. I was making his life a misery, worrying about every bit of carrot he was eating, so had to step back a bit.
