There are some who swear by the low starch diet to reduce inflammatory arthritis symptoms. I imagine that like anything else, it is individual, and aso depends on how much you are willing to alter your diet. http://www.spondylitis.org/about/diet_lowstarch.aspx

All I know is that for myself, since being diagnosed with enteropathic arthritis a decade post colectomy, I cannot imagine NOT using drugs to treat it. My pain levels, range of motion, and functionality ave greatly improved since I started biologics. A bonus is improved pouch function, with less cuffitis and pouchitis. So, I couldn't be happier (except if I could achieve spontaneous remission without drugs!)
