Actually, I don't feel much different going off the immune-suppressant meds, because they stopped working for me months ago. Even while on them, I had lots of flares, fatigue, and chronic pain.

I'm not sure if I should try bromelain. That's one of the main compounds in pineapple. Pineapple gives me severe diarrhea, even in very small doses. Bummer! I love pineapple.

Has anyone used bone broth to help heal the gut? I made up an awesome batch of it from chicken feet, but I haven't drunk it much yet.

Psoriatic spondylitis for just 3 years, already on disability. Failed with anti-TNF's and methotrexate; can't take NSAIDS; not on any regular pain meds. On the autoimmune protocol of the Paleo diet, with pretty good results so far. Also have to avoid high-oxalate foods.
