    Hi
    I have been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis in the last year and am on the biologic treadmill. I have tried 2 different ones in various doses but with none or very little relief. I have also changed my diet to vegetarian and do pilates

    My question is, have anyone found a non medical intervention that gives them relief?
    Thank u

    I also have this. Diagnosed in my late 20s. Although I found biologics a game changer, sometimes I am very stiff in the morning. I use resistance bands and a foam roller to work it out.

    This forum not allowing to give any medical advice. So I will post links and you make a conclusion yourself.

    And I suggest making a proper life-changing plan to see a pro-active dietitian doctor.


    Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease.


    Fructose consumption causes inflammation in the immune system and damages cells

    Sugar increasing their risk of chronic inflammation. Research suggests that when people eat and drink less sugar, inflammatory markers in their blood decrease.

    Omega 6(cooking oil) fats not only fuel your body's inflammatory pathways, but also reduce availability of anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats in your tissues.
