    O man when it rains it pours. I am sorry to hear of all UR illness'. I would like to suggest that a health and wellness group that meets once a wek at UR local hospital any support system available in UR area. I found thru experience that just talking and meaning with others with health issue sells much more than only online. Nothing wrong with online. Face to fave with real people show emotions and real hugs has a better pay off than the hugs and smiley faves I can send.

    I am awaiting a hip replacement that three now nerve damage causes bladder issues and I am always with a stick for balance. I was a very active person until wear and tear arthritis Osteoarthritis wore out all my joints. And I feel like I am 90 creaky bones always needing a part or two replaced.

    Pete - the Hla b27 gene that is associated with AS is also completely association with bowel disease - and both AS and bowel disease are associated with gut dysbiosis (bacteria imbalance).

    i would strongly recommend that you read up on issue to sort out your gut issues - perhaps look at the Specific Carbohyrdate Diet - as this could have benefits for your arthritis as well.

      TreatMe Gently brings up a very good point..

      After gallbladder removal I got IBS fought the pains for years. The galbladder produces enzymes that help break up foods for digestion. Scripts for enzymes didn't help.

      Yougut help balance the gut bacteria and now I rarely have those awful IBS attacks. Usually due to antibiotics that kill off all the good bacteria in the gut.. I eat yogurt every day for 20 years..it really helped.

      CHEERS

    Hi there,

    I'm also 25 years old and been suffering symptoms for years. I've been finding it increasingly difficult lately as I'm beginning to feel a lot more isolated from my friends and have a real lack of support from family. It's nice to see that there are other people out there too who are feeling the same way, although I am sorry that you all have to go through this too. I definitely think it has made me a stronger and more empathic person. I study health science and did read an article somewhere about AS causing incontinence, so it's a bit disheartening to hear that the doctor wasn't even considering this. I hope they piece it all together and find a better way to support you.
