Diet tips
Dietary changes which assist in reducing inflammation in the joints may be of some benefit to a person with Ankylosing Spondylitis. The diet should be rich in oily fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, mullet) which contain anti-inflammatory essential fatty acids. Foods high in Vitamin C e.g., apples, pears, berries, pawpaws etc., may help to maintain healthy connective tissue. Foods such as tripe, oats, irish moss, shark fin soup and mussels are rich in proteoglycans which help to nourish and restore cartilage.

I cannot stress more about the advantages to eating lots of fish to get the omega-3. Recently I realized I was not eating very well due to the toxic effects of morphine. I decided to benefit myself by taking some fish oil capsules. I started looking around for the best and found out that pharmaceutical grade fish oil is it. No contaminents. I use Omega-3 PGFO. It comes in at the best price I could find and is 5 star rated by the IFOS.

That is interesting! I've always tried to load up on fish when going out to eat (my wife isn't a fan so we don't have it at home). Perhaps my body was just telling me I needed it to slow the inflammation.
