Well, here I go...due to a neurological reaction to Enbrel I have taken off it and am trying the diet full on...I just finished a 3 day apple cleanse!...Sitting here realizing how my taste buds weren't even tasting before the cleanse...My fish oil has Stevia in it...never tasted it all until this morning!...Plan to keep a journal and see how I do...I assume my body is in a bit of remission from the Enbrel but hopefully over time as I wears off the diet will kick in an life will be well....I must admit some skeptism as I have considerable disc damage in the upper and lower spine as well as fused SI joints...which give me regular grief and I must admit I have not noticed any difference AS pain wise in the past...more IBS symptoms...but as Carol says watch for the next day or two...I plan to go not starch but track all I eat against AS symptoms so if there is a slip I can possibly track to what I ate...
Wish me luck and prayers please.
