Hi Jordan!
I hope you’re well.
I’m just wondering if you were able to comment on the research of Prof Ebringer et al on using a low-starch diet to treat autoimmune conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn’s, UC etc. Citation provided:
Thanks!
It’s potentially interesting, but overall lacking in supporting evidence. In other words, nice theory…where is the data?
A more applicable paper: Relationship between diet and ankylosing spondylitis: A systematic review - PMC
Evidence on a possible relationship between AS and diet is extremely limited and inconclusive due to the majority of included studies being small, single studies with moderate-to-high risk of bias, and insufficient reporting of results.

Thanks for the link to the review Jordan!
Hopefully better quality research is conducted in future on this topic.
Cheers!
