Ankylosing Spondylitis
Overview
Anklyosing spondylitis is a rare rheumatological condition that causes stiffness and inflammation of the spine and sacroiliac joints, and is characterized by a “bent forward” posture. The condition may be linked to genetic predisposition, and 90 percent of all cases occur in men between the ages of 20-40.
Early, mild symptoms of anklyosing spondylitis include recurring low back pain, pain along the sciatic nerve that runs from the buttocks down to the leg and foot, and stiffness on rising in the morning. As the condition progresses, the pain can spreads from the low back up to middle and/or higher back, and up to the neck. Other symptoms include pain in arms and legs, fatigue, muscle rigidity and more stiffness, anemia, and weight loss.
Research shows that the majority of people who have ankylosing spondylitis carry a particular gene known as human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27). Among those with ankylosing spondylitis, 9 out of 10 have HLA-B27.
If you suffer from anklyosing spondylitis, test for identifying gastrointestinal problems, stool sample and scraping to rule out amoebic, bacterial, fungal, or other parasitic problems. Also test for food allergies and assess your need for digestive enzymes. An effective method for determining causal factors is Electrodermal Screening (see Energy Medicine.)
