Patient's question:
Doctor, recently I've been feeling uncomfortable in my lower back and spine, especially with noticeable pain in the morning and evening, which has significantly affected my quality of life. As a result, I've been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. I'd like to consult with you on how to manage ankylosing spondylitis through dietary therapy. Looking forward to your reply.Doctor's answer:
Patients with ankylosing spondylitis should avoid alcohol, spicy and irritating foods, and high-purine foods. The condition may again exhibit clinical manifestations of osteoporosis or anemia. It is important to pay attention to calcium supplementation, consume more foods rich in high-quality protein, and supplement with vitamin C to help damaged tissues gradually recover. Daily active cooperation with medication treatment is necessary to control the condition and maintain spinal function.
