A war in my guts

For as long as I can remember being self aware enough to feel alienated from other people I have also been aware that my guts are at war with something. My body has never 'done the right thing' with food and it has been obvious to me forever that I process food differently from what the books say. The steps taken by others to lose weight do not result in me losing weight. The older I get the more regular and intense my gastrointestinal discomfort becomes. I am able to get some relief by avoiding gluten and lactose (changing to A2 milk made a huge difference) but I am convinced that this is just a coincidence and that it is something else found in products high in gluten and lactose that is at the source of my bizarre gut war. I have noticed that this is common in people with AS. I even wonder if it is a big part of it? Imagine how thrilled I was to watch the ABC program the other night highlighting the potential link between proprionic acid formation in the gut of people with AS. This program rang so many bells with me that I am certain there is something in it. Im willing to bet that this will be the biggest AS breakthrough in a long time, if not ever. I have immediately begun looking into managing the levels of Proprionic acid in my body and will report back with the results.
