I'm suffering from AS for over 4y now and heard less than 1 month ago about the starch free diet which I embraced since. I'm currently reading your book to deepen my knowledge and perfect the diet - thank you very much for your effort in putting it together. I dare to ask the following questions, if you are kind enough to help: - After how many hours after eating the wrong food, the AS pains kick in? I'm tring to identify what I can/cannot tolerate ans this would help me better recognise the problematic foods. - Is hemp tolerated in the starch free diet? I found a local company which produces hemp flour and protein powder which would be very useful in the fasting period, when I give up meat, eggs and dairy. - Are lemons recommended? I'm having a big flare after introducing lemons in my diet. The only one other thing I've introduced together with lemon is raw pumpkin seed, but I read they are safe. Thank you very much again for all your efforts in helping us fight AS. I love the days when I feel ok and I can stand up and move around without any ache following me. Kind regards Bogdan Cristescu Dear Ms Sinclair,

I have bought about 8 copies of your book. I have HLAB27 and come from a family of six kids, and I have two kids myself. My son is positive for HLAB27. I want to know what i can do easily for him and his grandparents to make it easy to care for him nutritionally. I follow your diet to a T. But that's easy. I get up up - cook brekkie and bobs your uncle. But for a 12 year old boy its too easy to have cereal and bread isn't. And his grandparents are trying but can't afford to buy bacon and eggs. SO my question is....in a child, is it imperative to follow the diet - am I going to exacerbate his condition but not adhering to the diet when he is with his extended family? PS He's so good with the diet and follows it to a T except for gluten free sausages which he has taken a huge liking to over Christmas ;-) Does is help to follow a slight gluten free diet or is that a mute point. For the child. For me I know it is - i even sniff anything with starch in it and I am in a state! Can you look at a book for children to help them deal with it? It is imperative that children follow the diet strictly? Cheers Suze Carol. I have bought about 8 copies of your book. I have HLAB27 and come from a family of six kids, and I have two kids myself.
