I just realize there is lot of wonderful person in this forum.. love every share about us, AS, and our environment..
I also find there is difficult to convince every people about my diet and why i did it. People kept look strange at me, and kept give me advice that just part of my belief that make me sick and eating rice won't make me sick or pain. Sometimes i want to tell them too that not eating rice won't make you die.
But now i learn to always listen to every advice and comment they give to me. They actually concern about me and it's good thing. They just don't know what the actual things that happens to me and still i am the person who decide what i eat or do.
I also find it's more easy if people ask and i will tell them gladly that i have AS, i hope if they have some relatives or it happens to them in the future they can share with me and i will gladly help. AS is not a disaster although it's harder to live with AS
Keep strong Seb and believe in what you do,
