its my opinion - diet literate AS suffers that arent prepared to adjust their diet to cater for their pain levels associated with Ankylosing Spondylitis are SOFT IN THE HEAD. Prefering to spend their days complaining about how much avoidable pain they are experiencing rather than spending their days preparing the correct food to decrease the pain levels associated with reactive arthritis.
Ask your self... would you feed a diabetic sugar cubes? would you give a peanut butter sandwich to someone with a peanut allergy? Would you take diet advice from someone that cant even look after their own dietary needs?
So if your offended by this - GOOD, its your wake up call to get angry enough and harden the F*&^% up. Your decision to continue with the STARCH eating is harming you weather you want to believe it or not.
Sooooo, all the NSD people who complain about being in a flare, are they soft in the head too for lying to themselves about the "positive" effects of the NSD? How about the "soft-headedness" of NSD people depriving themselves of foods they love while still suffering from the aches and pains of AS?
Look, I'm all for living and letting live, and I'm so glad for those who find some level of relief from the diet, but this ridiculous evangelical crusade to force the NSD on those who simply don't agree with the science or the anecdotal evidence is quickly making this a site I don't want to visit, which is sad, as I enjoy most of the people here.
As for the original poster, I had to quietly roll my eyes as others pleaded with you to come back; frankly, I have little patience with those who do anything for attention. Yes, you got the attention you wanted, and as a thank-you, you stir the pot yet again. I'm not offended, but I am mad that you've managed to ruin one of the minor highlights of my otherwise tiring day. If you've any manner of how to be polite, you'll dial it back a bit, try to play nicely with others, and treat the site with a bit of respect.
