Anti-inflammatory diet. There are a lot of info on-line.
Low to no starch-gluten-sugar diet is proving to be useful for quite a few AS patients (less inflammation, less pain). Get rid of processed foods first! This is a must!

Useful guidelines for AS diet(s):

Low carb, no starch diet

There is no cure all diet for AS. But eating a healthy diet with Omega 3, fruits and vegetables. Whole grains and fiber, bananas, yogurt to protect to gut from damge that can be caused by antiinflammstories and to restore good bacteria is beneficial. Try to avoid box, can, and packaged foods as they are processed, limit alcohol, limit sugar as these can cause inflammation in some people but not everyone as everyone's body is different . once again there is no cure all diet. Trial and error as some say removing gluten helps as well. But just simply eating healthy is the best way and if you don't get enough nutrients vitamins And supplements may be needed but talk to your dr first.

Gluten free and no sugar. Organic.

Everyone has different thoughts on diets. I believe its important to maintain a healthy weight and eat whole foods rather than processed. Theres also lots of folks that swear by the autoimmune protocol.

Many people do find diet changes can help
To manage symptoms. A healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Avoid lots of processed foods. Low carb and starch often helps. Certain foods are also beneficial like cinnamon and turmeric because of the anti inflammatory properties

I am currently doing the Alternate day fast diet, it seems to help with inflammation and weight control.

Every one is different. High sugar, allergens, and liquid/soft dairy, certain beers can trigger a flare for me.

Yes, the London diet, or low carb low starch. Food allergy testing to Target foods you may be allergic to causing Inflammatory Gut Syndrome.

Many says a low-starch diet helps the symptoms and gives less pain. But for me the diet has had no effect.

Of the day of today there is no scientific evidence of diet helping AS at the moment.

Although a lot of people try a variety of diet and some says it helps them, helps reduce pain or even flare. Diet such as Paleo Autoimmune Protocol, or gluten free for exemple.

Again maybe diet may help your general well-being which maybe can have an influence on you at different level.

As a patient, the only diet for me in anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean diet. Others find sucess with starch or gluten free. Some use a vegan diet. Do what works for you and discuss with you doctor

There is, has a book that is on diseases that are auto immune that talks about the diet of these rheumatic diseases. Avoid legumes, grains and gluten.

From your own experience sugar, white flour and milk (including dairy products) increase the inflammation and consequently the pain.
