HI,
Iritis attacks were the main feature of my AS before I went NSD I thought the backache etc were unrelated. I was only getting a few months or even weeks between attacks.
Something like three weeks in to going NSD I had an attack which was very demoralising but I hadn't yet realised how much things contained starch and it was also at Easter: excess of Easter eggs see below.
I have been NSD for 2 1/2 years how and have had two instances since with the gaps between getting larger. I haven't been able to definitely pin these down to unknown starch more an excess of sugar and maybe something else soya lecithin? in the form of chocolate bars (snickers and the like) and also stress leading up to it.
I have had starch since (not intentionally) and not had an attack so I am beginning to think sugar has a part in my iritis. I can eat quality chocolate (just chocolate nothing else- high cocoa which can affect some people although I do have milk chocolate on occasion) without a problem though.
Ice cream can contain starch as can yoghurt you need to always check the labels I am even beginning to check them every time even if its something I always use because the ingredients can be changed without you realising!
