Spondylitis Association of America Forums General Discussion Alternative Treatment / Diet Discussion [Sticky] Diet and Ankylosing Spondylitis

Anyone tried the Everlywell at-home food sensitivity tests or have any idea if AS food response is IgG?

I'm contemplating trying it since being completely off all grains/starches is getting old. Would love to more easily know what foods are reactive.

have not tried it. I did do an allergy elimination diet -with a health care provider- years ago and found it informative. There is a food that I was previously unaware of that set off flares for me. Also found things that i suspected which turned out to be fine.

there is also a free study with viome that you may want to check out. https://spondylitis.org/research/participate-in-research/

would love to hear what you find out.

best wishes,

Thanks RAHMBA!
I just signed up to get the eligibility package for the Viome trial. Hopefully I get to do it and get more information - and maybe find more food I can eat :-)

It is so comforting to hear from you - I've never talked to anyone else with AS and having only been officially diagnosed this year I feel pretty alone. All the doctors just want to pile on more meds and more side effects which then want more meds - this site has helped me more than any Dr.
Thanks again.
